Hi, I'm trying to setup the default Context for a Host, without defining it in 
server.xml.

In conf/Catalina/localhost I've created a file named .xml, and defined the Context within 
it, without defining the path - I understand from the Tomcat docs that it should be 
inferred as "".

This is all working fine, apart from one issue:  a call to HttpServletRequest.getServletContext() returns "/" 
rather than "" - the servlet API says "" is correct .  If the default context is defined in 
server.xml, getServletContext() returns "" as it should.

I'm guessing that this might be a bug, but I'm reluctant to say so because I suspect I might be 
doing something wrong - the Tomcat docs do say "it is not recommended to place 
<Context> elements directly in the server.xml file", but then creating a .xml file 
seems a little odd to me...  Is that really the right way to do it?

I've tested this on Tomcat 5.5.4 and 5.5.7.

Cheers
Martin
