i think the path statement needs to be "". but i experienced it is not
working anyway. see other postings concerning the "default server".

let me know if you figure it out.

thx

Hi,

Perhaps you need to use the context ROOT (full uppercase) as that is the
name of the / application in Tomcat?

Because of a bug in the Property editor (Project Properties->J2EE) where
you can't set an empty context root, you'll have to edit
..settings/.component and remove the value _completely_ for the
context-root property so that it looks like
<property name="context-root"/>

You can set the META-INF/context.xml's <Context> path attribute to "/", too.

This should help. Don't ever set your path to "ROOT".

It can't be avoided for now. See:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=125364

I'm still working on a patch. The main problem to be addressed in
finishing it, other than finding the time, it how to support the default
context.

Cheers,
Larry

I sure thought I cured this by setting the autoDeploy="false" and
deployOnStartup="false" in the server.xml <Host> definition.

True. I should have said without manually managing your configuration.

I have not tested this under Eclipse but i have certainly used this
under Tomcat. You can even see it at work in a default Tomcat
installation: it has a default ROOT application installed in
[tomcat]/webapps/ROOT
