The path attribute isn't valid, except if the Context is defined inline in server.xml which is *strongly discouraged*. Using the special name 'ROOT' is required, because normally the .war file name, the context file in conf/Catalina/hostname/<name>.xml or exploded directory name is used to provide the path exposed in the HTTP URL. The default application would therefore have an empty filename, which isn't such a good thing - so 'ROOT' is used instead. > haven't tried it , but I think we could achieve the same thing with > JkAutoAlias > which one is recommended ?
