Re: ManagerServlet undeploy

[Glenn Nielsen]

This is required for when the web app is not run from a war but
unpacked into the appDir for the Host.
I think it is a reasonable restriction to require that a web application
be placed in the appDir configured for the Host.  When you are running
with the SecurityManager this can make setting the security policy easier.

Undeploy fails for any app that's not installed under webapps directory. 
 For example, an attempt to undeploy /admin will fail with "Cannot 
undeploy document base for path /admin" because of the following lines 
from ManagerServlet line 1384

            // Validate the docBase path of this application
            String deployedPath = deployed.getCanonicalPath();
            String docBase = context.getDocBase();
            File docBaseDir = new File(docBase);
            if (!docBaseDir.isAbsolute()) {
                docBaseDir = new File(appBaseDir, docBase);
            }
            String docBasePath = docBaseDir.getCanonicalPath();
            if (!docBasePath.startsWith(deployedPath)) {
                writer.println(sm.getString("managerServlet.noDocBase",
                                            displayPath));
                return;
            }
Any app that's installed using context configuration file with docBase 
other than "../webapps" will not pass the condition since deployedPath 
is always ../webapps.

What is the reasoning behind this validation?

Thanks,
Amy
