Hi all,

I'm trying to deploy an application by copying a file called myapp.xml
containing the context description below to tomcat's webapp directory:

<Context path="myapp"
      docBase="C:/cvs/demos/myapp/deploy"
        debug="0" 
   privileged="true">

  <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" 
              debug="0" 
          directory="logs"
             prefix="myapp_log." 
             suffix=".txt"
          timestamp="true" 
          verbosity="1"/>

</Context>

Tomcat automatically detects the addition and tries to load the new
context but then it throws several exceptions. Here are some fragments
from the exceptions: 

3-jul-2003 10:47:57 org.apache.commons.digester.Digester endElement

If I change the "path" attribute to this: path="" (the ROOT context) it
does work! Can someone please tell me wat is causing this? 

Thanks and regards,

Jeroen
