Hi,
Sorry, I sent my earlier post accidentally before finishing it.

Hi,

We're talking about Tomcat 5.5, not 5.0, and about a specific deployment
scenario.

But you're right that the 5.5 docs are not updated to correctly reflect
this new logic.  We had a debate and a couple of implementations as to
when to take and when to ignore the path and docBase attributes, i.e.
when they are optional and when required.  We've yet to update the
Context docs, so they are a bit misleading for 5.5 now.  A path is of
course still required, but the user doesn't have to specify it, as
Tomcat will now deduce it in some cases.
