Bug ID: 54708
Summary: Use base file name ("ROOT") as the work directory for
the default webapp instead of "_"
Product: Tomcat 8
Version: trunk
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: knst.koli...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
[1] http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html#Naming
There is documentation [1] on relation between context name, context path,
context version and the base file name of a Context.
There is one place where Tomcat 7 does not follow [1]:
naming of javax.servlet.context.tempdir directory (aka work directory) for the
application. It uses "_" for the default application.
I propose to replace that with "ROOT",
a) for consistency
b) to avoid conflict if someone deploys web application named "_", e.g. in
pursue of short URLs
BTW, if someone is really facing such conflict, it could be remedied by
specifying workDir attribute on a <Context>. (Though a bit hard to make the
path unique without knowing the engine and host names).
