tomcat 5.5; context-path
Hi!
I'm preparing to upgrade from tomcat 4.1 to 5.5. I've a lot of apps, which have a context path with subdirectories (e.g. "/dir1/app1" ...) and it seems that tomcat 5.5 doesn't allow this.
In the tomcat 5.5 docs (.../tomcat-docs/config/context.html) in the description of "path" there's the sentence:
"The value of this field must not be set except when statically defining a Context in server.xml, as it will be infered from the filenames used for either the .xml context file or the docBase."
This seems to me to have only context path with has the same value as the name of the context.xml file.
I want to use context.xml files and not put context information into server.xml.
So isn't it possible to depoly apps in tomcat 5.5 with a context path that has subdirectories?
Is this a feature (why?) - or is this a bug?
If this is a feature - do you have any suggestions, how to configure my tomcat/apache that the directory structure (for the web users) will stay the same?
Thanks, Gernot

Yes, it is possible. Search the archives for the specifics. You have to
name your context's XML file a certain way: a special character
represents the dir separators.
So to map a context to
/path1/path2/path3
your context XML would be named
path1{char}path2{char}path3.xml
I think "{char}" is a "#" but don't quote me on that...
