+1 A trivial example: if someone else who doesn't understand the config administers the server in future and inadvertently places a ROOT.war file in the appBase... If, for some reason, you really, really need to see what the application is called, then consider upgrading to Tomcat 7.0 and using the parallel deployment feature. Then you can name your application: ROOT##my-important-app-name-1.0.war The whole of the section after ## is considered to be part of the version identifier. I think this is a much better way of addressing the usual argument about naming & leaves the application layout on the file system easy to understand. p > - Chuck > > > THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY > MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
