So long as we're talking 5.4+, and there is a way for the user to specify something to get the old behaviour (i.e. a prefix context match on ""), then I suppose it isn't too big a deal. I'd also say that a change in default behaviour warrants a note in the NEWS file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
