Actually, having the path attribute is more flexible. You can then specify something like /a/b/c which you cannot do with a filename.

You were o.k. up to that point. The path attribute must not be used; instead, insure that the name of the file containing your <Context> element is the path you wish to use for your webapp. Recent versions of Tomcat got rid of the redundancy and ambiguity of the path attribute. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
