Context Root with more than one /

Hello Krishna,

Just an idea: do you have Tomcat context.xml in your application? Does context
root in this descriptor the same as context root in deployment configuration?

Hi,

I am deploying a web application using tomcat and intellij.

In intellij there is an option to specify application context for the
server ( in server deployment view).

When I give the context in format of /abc it works nice But if I give
the context in the format of /abc/mnv, it does not work.

Could someone suggest me a solution?

Alexander.

Hello Alexander,

just today I spent several highly stressful hours trying to get that to work
with a context path like "m/cheat/sheet"
I have no context.xml in my application and according to Tomcat docs the "path"
attribute of will be ignored anyhow, unless it's a ]]> tag in
Tomcat's main server.xml

I soon gave up trying to use Idea to eliminate another source of possible errors.
I used ant and configured Tomcat manually.

Here's the solution I found:
Replace all the slashes in the context path by hashes in the name of the context
descriptor that you write to
$catalina.base/conf/Catalina/localhost

So in my case the file must be named "m#cheat#sheet.xml".

Idea incorrectly creates sub folder "m" and "cheat" and writes a file sheet.xml

Here's the link with the solution I found:

Hope you can fix that!

Workaround: Specify "/abc#mnv" in Idea instead. Your web app will be deployed using context path "/abc/mnv".
