I know that it works according to the documentation but I can't
ignore the fact that I believe it's wrong. If you look closer in
the code of HostConfig.deployDescriptors() you note that others has
missed the ability to set the context path and has hidden it in the
filename which is neither portable nor documented.
File contextXml = new File(configBase, files[i]);
if (files[i].toLowerCase().endsWith(".xml")) {
// Calculate the context path and make sure it is unique
String nameTmp = files[i].substring(0, files[i].length() - 4);
String contextPath = "/" + nameTmp.replace('#', '/');
if (nameTmp.equals("ROOT")) {
contextPath = "";
}
If you understand me I believe it's a mistake to tie the Context
descriptors file name to the context path while there is a clean and
documented way of defining the path in the context tag. In this aspect
I believe the way it worked in TC-4.1 is to prefer and I ask you
to reconsider it.

You know you've achieved perfection in design,
NOT when you have nothing more to add,
but when you have nothing more to remove.
