Hello I noticed this thread and have a follow up question. I know I can leave the path out of my META-INF/context.xml file, but I still have a docbase, and working dir values. In my original war file I have a context file with;
<Context crossContext="true" docBase="mywebapp" path="/mywebapp" privileged="true" workDir="work\Catalina\localhost\mywebapp"> Is there some way I can "varibalize" the end of those to match the war file name? I find myself using the same war file, but renaming it, and dropping it into webapps to create new instance. For instance, I rename the war file mywebapp1, mywebapp2, etc...creating context for all those that I can connect to. BUT I then need to hand edit the xml in conf/Catalina/localhost/ To have; <Context crossContext="true" docBase="mywebapp1" path="/mywebapp1" privileged="true" workDir="work\Catalina\localhost\mywebapp1"> So what I would like is have a context file that will put the proper entires into the context element, based on the war file name.

The trick with the #-symbol in the path works when you put your <Context> element in an appropriately named .xml file in conf/[engine]/[host]. As a temporary workaround, you might want to try that. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
