http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35707 Summary: Reactivate path attribute for Context Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.5.9 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P4 Component: Catalina AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In Tomcat 4, when dropping an xml file in the webapps/ directory (or $CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ in 5.5), the context path for the deployed application was taken from the "path" attribute of the "Context" element contained in the file. In Tomcat 5.5, it is no longer the case as the context path is infered from the file name (cf. http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5- doc/config/context.html) I think it was a great feature allowing to switch webapps version quickly: * I have a directory where I have multiple context xml files referencing different version of a single webapp: mywebapp-1.0.xml mywebapp-2.0.xml (they use the same context path, but *not* the same docBase) * When I need to test a given version I just copy the associated xml file to the tomcat $CATALINA_HOME/webapps directory and the correct webapp version is used. In Tomcat 5.5 the process is more difficult as I have to rename the file. Another advantage is that I could name webapps related to each other with the same prefix (with no relation at all with the context paths). Could it be possible to re-allow the "path" attribute to override the name infered from the file name? -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
