Hi Iain, From a previous question I asked on the list: If you use auto-deploy and you have a WAR file or directory in the "webapps" directory, then any "path" attribute you have in your <Context> element will be ignored (or, worse, confused and used ion some weird way). Perhaps this is a problem with your deployment.
