Summary: Support for "path" attribute in context.xml
Product: Tomcat 6
Version: 6.0.20
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows NT
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org
ReportedBy: you...@gmail.com
Currently Tomcat provides basically 2 ways to set the context path of an
application.
* Derived from the name of the .war or {context}.xml file.
* Set the path attribute of the context element in the server.xml
It would be nice if it were possible to set the path attribute in the context
element of a context.xml file.
I have a requirement where my application's context path must change depending
upon the environment it is deployed into. Instead of renaming my .war for each
environment I would prefer to set the path attribute in the context.xml of the
.war to a catalina.properties property. (e.g. <context
path="${contextPath}"/>)
Then set the value of ${contextPath} in my catalina.properties for the
different environments along with the other properties in my application that
change for each environment such as database connection information.
I could add a context entry in my server.xml but I'm hoping to keep application
specific configuration information out of my server.xml. And from my
understanding use of context element in server.xml is somewhat deprecated.
If the path attribute is empty the tomcat can derive the context Path from the
file name just like it does now by default. I just want to add support for the
path attribute if it is specified.
I'd be more than willing at taking a stab at a patch if I could get some sort
of assurance that the general concept of this issue is valid.
