Definitely not true. Read the doc: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html which states: "Please note that for tomcat 5, unlike tomcat 4.x, it is NOT recommended to place <Context> elements directly in the server.xml file. Instead, put them in the META-INF/context.xml directory of your WAR file or the conf directory as described above." and "The value of this field [path] must not be set except when statically defining a Context in server.xml, as it will be infered [sic] from the filenames used for either the .xml context file or the docBase." > - DefaultContext element in the Host is the other way to define a > default context, but this may work only on Tomcat 5.0 The DefaultContext element only specified the set of attributes common to all contexts; it did not specify what the default application was. DefaultContext was replaced by the conf/context.xml file quite some time ago. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
