Hi folks,

I'm quiet new to tomcat, but there is already a thing I can't understand:

I have downloaded the Lambda Probe application version 1.5.0.3. I've got 
the .war file called probe.war.
The only thing I did is to rename the file to probe_1.5.0.3.war and 
deployed it to my tomcat 5.5.17 (I downloaded the tomcat .zip-file and 
started the startup script - no configuration was changed).

I put my probe_1.5.0.3.war into the folder $CATALINA_HOME\webapps. What i 
identified, what was happening now is:

- The .war file was unpacked to $CATALINA_HOME\webapps\probe_1.5.0.3 with 
all its content
- The META-INF/context.xml File (that was in the .war file) is copied to 
$CATALINA_HOME\conf\Catalina\localhost\probe_1.5.0.3.xml
- The application is started.

What I was wondering is, that the URL what my application is listening on 
is
http://localhost:8080/probe_1.5.0.3

Does anyone know what I have to do, that my application listens to the 
following urls (only one at the time):
http://localhost:8080/probe or even http://localhost:8080/tom/probe

As I read the documentation, it should work with setting the path 
attribute in the context.xml File in the .war file...but i can change that 
path attribute to what I want, my applications still listens to: 
http://localhost:8080/probe_1.5.0.3

Thanks for your help...hope to get an answer soon.

Kind regards
Tom
