Because its not just us that affects this. Its anyone outside of

So it may be a negative for them. We to get their input on this
before doing it.
I assumed that the version-level being part of the war filename is just
part of the landscape when using ibiblio as a remote maven repository.
It is. But the servlet deployers use the name of the war/jar. We also
do this in Geronimo. Tomcat uses context.xml to get around this and we
use geronimo-web.xml.
Consumers of the repository need to account for this and provide a
mechnism for overriding the context-root for the application when
appropriate. My $.02..
They have a method for overriding this...its called the context.xml
file. They just don't include it with the examples.
Of course, as you point out, the opinion that really counts is the
Tomcat community. Have/can you approach them with the issue?
I have not approached them on this point.
Thanks for helping out here!
