Hi All,
Prior to Tomcat 7.0.58, we are able to set the context as "/". In the code
it will go to else part and set the context without any issues.
public void setPath(String path) {
if (path == null || (!path.equals("") && !path.startsWith("/"))) {
this.path = "/" + path;
log.warn(sm.getString(
"standardContext.pathInvalid", path, this.path));
} else {
this.path = path;
}
encodedPath = urlEncoder.encode(this.path);
if (getName() == null) {
setName(this.path);
}
}
But from 7.0.58, when we trying to set context as "/", it will matches
the first of condition as make the path an empty string("").
public void setPath(String path) {
boolean invalid = false;
if (path == null || path.equals("/")) {
invalid = true;
this.path = "";
} else if ("".equals(path) || path.startsWith("/")) {
this.path = path;
} else {
invalid = true;
this.path = "/" + path;
}
if (this.path.endsWith("/")) {
invalid = true;
this.path = this.path.substring(0, this.path.length() - 1);
}
if (invalid) {
log.warn(sm.getString(
"standardContext.pathInvalid", path, this.path));
}
encodedPath = urlEncoder.encode(this.path);
if (getName() == null) {
setName(this.path);
}
}
Is there a any specific reason for this change?
Why it is not allowing to set the context path as "/"
Thanks
Best Regards
