I was reviewing the operation of the WARP connector code and was wondering if someone can explain to me why a '/' is appended to the application name when it is deployed?
This particular feature has always perplexed me as to why a trailing '/' is always appended to things like directory references in Apache software. Under a web application it doesn't seem to make sense for things like say the tomcat manager application which is rooted at /manager. Adding a trailing slash asks the manager application to list apps for '/' which is the root context. This gives you no option to get to just '/manager' the break down according to the URI spec of servlets would have this as: Context Path: /manager Servlet Path: / Path Info: null Thanks for any information in advance.
