No, when inside the webapp, the <Context> element must be in META-INF/context.xml. > So, are you saying that there is NO way (outside of configuring a > <Context...> inside the server.xml) to have the name of the WAR file > be one thing and the context path be something else? You can keep the webapp outside of the <Host> appBase directory (Tomcat's webapps directory, by default), and place the <Context> element for it in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml, with a docBase attribute pointing to the actual location of the .war file (or directory). You still do not use the path attribute; the URL path to the webapp is determined by the name of the .xml file. > I am looking for a way to carry the context path information > inside the WAR itself due to my build process requirements. You could easily have your deployment script change the name of the .war file when it's copied to the appBase directory. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
