context path ignored in conf/Catalina/localhost/*
Tomcat 7.0.40
RHEL 6
I am trying to define all of my contexts in conf/Catalina/localhost/*.xml.
This seems to work fine, however I'm having an issue setting the path.
myApp.xml
<Context path="/tracking" >
This simply does not work. It worked fine if I put it into
conf/context.xml.
The only way this works is if i rename my war file to tracking.war.
Why is the path ignored?
Thanks,
Dan

Nor should it.

Which is exactly what you should do.

It's been illegal to put the path attribute in a <Context> element since at least 5.5. Read the doc:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html

If you don't want to re-name the WAR file (I really don't know why so
many people resist this), you can put the WAR file outside of your
Host's appBase and then use conf/Catalina/localhost/[appname].xml with
a docBase pointing to the WAR on the disk. In this case, the name of
the XML file identifies the context path and you can call the WAR file
anything you want.

Thank you both. I see in the link you sent me, that "path" can only be
see from within server.xml.
To correct myself from eariler i said it worked in context.xml, when it
was in deed server.xml where i had it specified.
I would prefer not to to have to rename the war, but at this point im not
going to complain about it. :)
I just spent a lot of time migrating from server.xml to
conf/Catalina/localhost/*.xml. I'll have to deal with a rename to make
things work properly.
Thanks,
Dan

You generally don't want to set "path". In most cases, path is inferred by the name of your deployment file, either <path>.war or <path>.xml.

Yikes. I wouldn't suggest that.

That's what you want to do.

In this case, it's by design. See the docs for more info. Check out the "path" attribute, the "Naming" and "Defining a context" sections.
