Tomcat upgrade from 5.0.28 to 5.5.17, Tomcat Manager does not work for context based deployments

[Venkatesh Jayaraman \(jvenky\)]

 

We are trying to use tomcat manager feature.

 
        >>>
 
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/manager-howto.html#Deploy%20A%20
New%
        20Application%20Remotely
 
 
        Deploy A New Application from a Local Path. Deploy using a
Context configuration ".xml" file
        Here is an example of deploying an application using a Context 
        configuration ".xml" file and a web application ".war" file
located on the 
        server. 
 
        http://localhost:8080/manager/deploy?
        config=file:/path/context.xml&war=jar:file:/path/bar.war!/
        >>
 
This feature works in 5.0.28 tomcat.  We are trying to upgrade to 5.5.17
tomcat 
 
We are seeing following error "Invalid context path was specified" 
 
Looks like this is tomcat manager bug.
 

Need help!!
