Re: can't save a context. 5.0.28 will save.

["Jay G. Scott" <gl...@arlut.utexas.edu>]

okay.  some definite results.

5.5.17
solaris 9
29 > java -version
java version "1.5.0_07"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_07-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_07-b03, mixed mode, sharing)

this does not make a yourapp.xml file.  it further forgets all contexts
added via the web interface  when tomcat is restarted.


5.0.28
same for all the rest.

does ***NOT*** forget contexts.  the .xml file persists and the context
appears when expanded under catalina-localhost on the web page.


based on the above, i would say it's a bug at the 5.5.17 release, but
remember i'm completely unschooled in java (almost).
