Hi!

I'm preparing to upgrade from tomcat 4.1 to 5.5. I've a lot of apps, which have 
a context path with subdirectories (e.g. "/dir1/app1" ...) and it seems that 
tomcat 5.5 doesn't allow this.
In the tomcat 5.5 docs (.../tomcat-docs/config/context.html) in the description 
of "path" there's the sentence:

 "The value of this field must not be set except when statically defining a 
Context in server.xml, as it will be infered from the filenames used for either 
the .xml context file or the docBase."

This seems to me to have only context path with has the same value as the name 
of the context.xml file.
I want to use context.xml files and not put context information into server.xml.
So isn't it possible to depoly apps in tomcat 5.5 with a context path that has 
subdirectories?
Is this a feature (why?) - or is this a bug?
If this is a feature - do you have any suggestions, how to configure my 
tomcat/apache that the directory structure (for the web users) will stay the 
same?

Thanks, Gernot
