I am trying to work out how I can build my war file and then deploy it using a different path. I have looked at the tomcat docs (specifically):
The locations for Context Descriptors are: 1. $CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/[webappname].xml I want to be able to build a war file with a name like myapp-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.war and deploy this without having to put myapp-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT into the URL but I also don’t really want to have to change the name of the context file every time I release a new version to tomcat. On a separate note deploying my warfile and adding a context to tomcat\conf\catalina\localhost\myapp-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.xml the tomcat logs tell me the context is being used but it ignores my path setting and uses myapp-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT which gives me a 404 error for the url I really want: <Context crossContext="true" path="/myapp" reloadable="true"> </Context> Any help is appreciated as I don’t want to have to set a final name of myapp for the generated war file. Is there a way to redefine the web app path from within the war file so it always deploys with the build and tomcat uses this instead of the name of the warfile\webapp and there is no changes to the tomcat configuration?
