Hi,

Per the 5.5 doc you can't do it that way. You can only specify the path as a blank string when the context element is in the server.xml.

To reiterate: so the only 2 ways to define the *default web app* for the host are either

- to define the context in server.xml (which is inconvenient because it
  may e.g. contain JNDI resource definitions that have to be updated
  whenever META-INF/context.xml within the war changes)

or

- to name the war file for the default webapp "ROOT.war"
  (which is somewhat crappy, too, since it e.g. leaves no hint
  at what the war is about if someone just looks at the webapps drawer)


If the above is true, I wonder why the path attribute of the context defined in META-INF/context.xml isn't simply considered in *any* case?
Shouldn't this be considered a tomcat bug?
