Bad idea. I have seen far too many apps break in all sorts of weird and
wonderful ways when you change the context path in your reverse proxy.

Because:
- it is unnecessary
- it makes the auto deploy code significantly more complex for little /
no gain
- it often results in double deployment


Another option - given the fixing the broken web app doesn't seem to be
acceptable - is disable autoDeploy and deployOnStartup and hard code the
context paths in server.xml
