what do we need to do to reproduce what you are seeing? here is what I did... started a recently built pull from web-main with a fresh userdir i did not import settings i registered a 3.1 build i create a java ee 6 web app that targets server... with project name WebApplication193 i run the project the server starts. the browser starts. the index.xhtml page displays as expected the url was http://localhost:8080/WebApplication193 I used the Copy action on WebApplication193's right-click menu. A dialog appeared to let me select the name and directory for the new project I kept the default values (webApplication193_1, ~/NetBeansProjects). The new project appeared. I used the Run item from WebApplication193_1's right click menu. the project deployed. the index.xhtml page appeared. http://localhost:8080/WebApplication193_1... What steps did you follow that were different from the one I described above? things work as you describe in nb691 the nb7.0beta2 works differently use that build if you want to reproduce i am not currently running dev builds -- i could if you are not seeing it in the cureent dev builds -- to confirm issue is gone away Please provide more details about "the nb7.0beta2 works differently"... Maybe you would be willing to attach the 'src' project also. Created attachment 106507 [details]

project after copy
copied jpa to jpa_4; context root remains /jpa in both with nb70beta2 Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.0 Beta 2 (Build 201102140001) Java: 1.6.0_23; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 19.0-b09 System: Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64; Cp1252; en_US (nb) Userdir: C:\Users\emiddio\.netbeans\7.0beta2 with nb691 jpa_4 would have context root /jpa_4 thanks I can see that JPA_4 you attached has "<context-root>/jpa</context-root>" in sun-web.xml. If I perform copy myself on Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 110223-f768bf0f0b79) Java: 1.6.0_24; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 19.1-b02 System: Linux version 2.6.35-25-generic running on amd64; UTF-8; en_NZ (nb) Userdir: /home/david/.netbeans/_UD4 then no context-root is set in my copy of JPA project and therefore it is deployed correctly. I'm not aware of any changes in this area since Beta2 so I wonder if it is reproducible only under certain other conditions. Hmm. I will take a look at it some more. One thing that I would note.... this is one of those things that can never be 'right' to all users. I would bet that there are some users that would say the way 6.9.1 worked was incorrect and the 'new' way is correct, too. Maybe we need to add a check-mark on the Copy dialog that allows a user to state their preference about how to handle the content of 'location dependent data' like the context root? as i noted in initial post -- it just works differently than nb691 -- but i cannot say which way is "better" ? (In reply to comment #8) > Maybe we need to add a check-mark on the Copy dialog that allows a user to > state their preference about how to handle the content of 'location dependent > data' like the context root? That's true. I intentionally turned this into P4 as I do not think copying projects is part of developers daily(not even weekly) workflow. This is more about decision how it should work instead of fixing it. Targeting for next release. Adding Petr Hejl to cc list to know his opinion. |
