Hey Thomas,

That's actually an issue with the tutorial documentation as the path attribute 
is ignored unless the context is defined statically in the server.xml file. 
Otherwise the context path is determined by Tomcat by the name of the context 
file so "foo.xml" will be hosted at "foo". Since this is a Tomcat specific 
configuration we don't have a way to change that but we should update our 
tutorial. If you can would you enter a Jira issue to track this. If you want 
feel free to supply a patch to the documentation.

Here is a link to the Tomcat documentation on contexts if you are interested: 
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html

Thanks,
Paul

Greetings,

I'm in the process of trying out the CAS Curator tutorial.

I've picked up a curiosity with the curator war deployment - 
http://oodt.apache.org/components/maven/curator/user/basic.html#section2

It seems that the web app is deployed to name of the xml file not the Context 
path attribute.

For me, if filename = foo.xml (and path="/my-curator") and foo.xml is put in 
Catalina/localhost/ the webapp is deployed to foo not my-curator

I.e http://localhost:8080/foo works,  but http://localhost:/my-curator does not 
work.

I've tried on Mac Snow Leopard and Ubuntu Linux - both using some flavour of 
tomcat6.

Any ideas why this happens?

Regards,
Thomas
