I looked at the TC 5.0 pages for this, and it does not appear to be the same for 5.0 (which I use now)
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/context.html says " The context path of this web application, which is matched against the beginning of each request URI to select the appropriate web application for processing. All of the context paths within a particular Host must be unique. If you specify a context path of an empty string (""), you are defining the default web application for this Host, which will process all requests not assigned to other Contexts." While http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html says " The context path of this web application, which is matched against the beginning of each request URI to select the appropriate web application for processing. All of the context paths within a particular Host must be unique. If you specify a context path of an empty string (""), you are defining the default web application for this Host, which will process all requests not assigned to other Contexts. The value of this field must not be set except when statically defining a Context in server.xml, as it will be infered from the filenames used for either the .xml context file or the docBase." The addition in 5.5 being " The value of this field must not be set except when statically defining a Context in server.xml, as it will be infered from the filenames used for either the .xml context file or the docBase."" Can you not specify a path, docbase, and workdir in the context.xml file for TC 5.0? I routinely change the name of my war file to install a new instance used for testing or ad-hoc demos. If I could leave those attributes out in the context file, it would be a great help.
