Major bug in deployer!!
I am trying to use the Tomcat manager to deploy a web application packed
in a WAR file. In my WAR file I have a directory named 'META-INF' and in
that directory I have a file named 'context.xml'. The 'context.xml' file
looks like...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context path="/servlet/myservlet" reloadable="true">
...
</Context>
...so I am telling Tomcat to send all URLs ending with
'/servlet/myservlet' to the web application being deployed. I do a
browse, point to the WAR file and then press 'Deploy'. Tomcat then
copies the WAR file to '/webapps' and copies the 'context.xml' file to
'conf/.../myservlet.xml'.
So far so good.
Now when I go to the manager listing the web applications I see
'/myservlet' in the 'Applications' column. Uh oh! Seems that the 'path'
attribute in the 'context.xml' file is being completely ignored! So
right now I am forced to put the <Context> element in the 'server.xml'
file directly, in which Tomcat respects the 'path' attribute.
So my question is... Is there a workaround for this problem that will
allow me to deploy my web application using the deployer when my web
application context path needs to be '/servlet/myservlet'? Yes, the
context NEEDS to be '/servlet/myservlet'!
I have tried this in 5.5.4, 5.5.6 and 5.5.7 with the same results. The
deployer would make life on our network admin MUCH easier because I
would be able to deploy new versions of the web application without
bugging him to install them manually. Thanks in advance!!

This is the default action of the 5.5 path and is noted on the context
documentation. The way to fix this is to name the context.xml as
servlet#myservlet.xml
