Tomcat not reading context path directive

[Alan Cooper <al...@lumison.net>]

HI there,

I'm running Tomcat 5.5.12 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux stock packages).

I am trying to set a Context path directive for /ejava/appname
 
Tomcat is ignoring the Context path and instead taking the context from 
the xml file name (so it's reading the file and the docBase directive). 
The servlet is served, just not from the desired context.  I am setting 
the context up in /etc/tomcat5/Catalina/localhost/bield.xml.
 
My xml file looks like:
 
<!--
 
    Context configuration file for the Bield  Web App
 
    $Id: bield.xml,v 1.3 2007/01/26 10:03:34 remm Exp $
 
-->
 
 
 
<Context docBase="/home/bield/live/ejava/" path="/ejava/bield" 
override="true"
         privileged="true" antiResourceLocking="false" 
antiJARLocking="false">
 
  <ResourceLink name="users" global="UserDatabase"
                type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"/>
 
</Context>


Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

That's just the way it's designed to be:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html

Remove the "path" attribute and instead name the file "ejava#bield.xml".
