Hi,

I am an occasional contributor to the Tomcat Eclipse Plugin [1]. One
nice thing, that the plugin does is, that it creates a Context.xml for
you, so that you can have the webapp in-place while
developing. Right now, that Context.xml would look like this:

<Context path="/iaas"
      reloadable="true"
         docBase="C:\git\wx-iaas-vaadin-ui\target\iaas-vdn-webapp"
           workDir="C:\git\wx-iaas-vaadin-ui\target\iaas-vdn-webapp-work" />

Well, with recent Tomcat versions, that is no longer correct, because
the path attribute is rejected. A message appears in the log file:

    The path attribute with value [/iaas] in deployment descriptor
    [C:\opt\apache-tomcat-9.0.54\conf\Catalina\localhost\iaas.xml] has
been ignored

Not a real problem, but something, that I would like to see changed.

Question: Can you tell me (as exactly as possible), which Tomcat
versions want that attribute? Right now, my plan would be:

  Keep the attribute for Tomcat < 9. (It is required.)
  Keep the attribute for Tomcat 9 (It may be required. If not, no harm done.)
  Remove the attribute for Tomcat 10.

Thanks,

Jochen
