Applciation deployed twice after restart if path doesn't match war filename

           Summary: Applciation deployed twice after restart if path doesn't
                    match war filename
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.28
          Platform: Alpha
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Webapps:Manager
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: peter.edwards@astrazeneca.com


If you upload a war file using the HTML manager interface it places the war 
file in the webapps directory. It also extracts the context.xml file and places 
this in conf/Catalina/localhost using the war file to generate the new 
filename. So if the war file is called MyApp.war, the context file is 
MyApp.xml. So far, so good.

If the context file declares the path to be "/myapp" the application is 
deployed in the context /myapp.

Now, if you restart the server you get two instances of your application. One 
because of the MyApp.war file in webapps - this is deployed as /MyApp. The 
second is due to the context file (MyApp.xml) but this deploys as /myapp.

I don't know what the correct behaviour should be but the restriction is that 
your path must be the same as the war filename.
