context path is set to "/" instead of ""

           Summary: context path is set to "/" instead of ""
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.24
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Webapps:Administration
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: cybernd@cybernd.at


just tried to create a new context inside my test-virtualHost
context path field: ""

after commit changes and reloading tomcat it was impossible to delete this
context by means of the admin webapp. generated links on index pages are also
faulty => they always lead to http://file instead of http://virtualhost/file
(html source: relative link shows //file instead of /file)

i think the cause of this problem is that the path attribute is set to "/"
inside the server.xml config file. when i changed it manually to path="" (tomcat
shudown -> edit server.xml -> start again) the context worked proper

it was also possible to remove the context via admin webapp when the path is set
to ""
