--- Comment #10 from Pid <bugzi...@pidster.com> 2011-08-09 08:10:54 UTC --- > ...as i see it, a relative path is one that is resolvable generally against an > URI or File, which is the case of "" and ".", both valid paths denoting the > "current" directory. If "." is valid, Tomcat would deploy "." and it will also detect every directory in "." (because it's the same as appBase) and separately, deploy them as applications - each of those dirs is presumably missing a WEB-INF/web.xml, which means that no security constraints are applied. The extra applications take priority over the ROOT application (as they have a longer context path), so any requests to resources in them would be unprotected. Now please, join to the Tomcat Users list (not because I'm user, but because *you* are) and we'll explain all of this to you, if you still don't understand why you are wrong. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
