path attributes in context xml files

[David Boyer <Da...@bvu.edu>]

I use xml files in /conf/[enginename]/[hostname] to define my contexts.
I now know that Tomcat 5.5.x doesn't allow for 'path' attributes in the
Context elements when defined that way.
 
Previously, I could specify the path as '/dir1/dir2/appname'.  I can
easily rename the xml file to 'appname.xml', but how do I get the other
directories into the path without a 'path' attribute in the Context
element. Using the 5.5.x approach, by web application is at '/appname'
instead of '/dir1/dir2/appname'.
 
Is there a way to get a multi-directory path using this approach (a la
Tomcat 5.0.x), or will I need to declare these Contexts in my server.xml
to do that?

Yes there is. I cannot remember, but it is in the archives. It has to do 
with how you name the file. Something like dir1#dir2#appname.xml or it may 
have been an underscore. I will see if I can find it if no one else knows 
off the top.
