I want te deploy an application on Tomcat with a name that differs from

http://localhost:8080/campingserver/ to react to campingserver-1.0.2.war
in the webapp folder when I have the following context.xml file in
META-INF:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context path="/campingserver/">
</Context>
But this does not work, the URL is still
http://localhost:8080/campingserver-1.0.2/
Any idea how to acomplish it?
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html says:
"path
....
The value of this field must not be set except when statically defining
a Context in server.xml, as it will be inferred from the filenames used
for either the .xml context file or the docBase."
so I am not surprise that it is not working.
If you were using a full Java EE server you could use an ear file and
specify the path there.
With Tomcat I think the easiest solution is the low tech solution
of renaming before copying.
