Description Ana.von Klopp 2002-10-11 20:26:08 UTC
(Reported on NB users). 

Unless you're familiar with the terminology 
confusion in the Servlet spec, and how you deploy a web module on Tomcat, 
the web app/web module/servlet context/context thing is confusing. 


I'm not necessarily saying we should change the name in the UI, but we 
need to do something to explain that the "context" nodes under the server 
instance corresponds to a deployed web module. 

I filed this against 
Tomcatint, but perhaps this is specified by j2eeserver. If so apologies 
and please refile.

You are familiar with these terms so please drive the prosecc of
consolidation 
Comment 2 Ana.von Klopp 2003-02-19 20:06:38 UTC
Ann, let's meet to resolve this.
Comment 3 Ana.von Klopp 2003-12-02 17:31:25 UTC
I suggest that we are consistent with the terminology and call the 
deployed entities web modules also. This should be intuitive even to 
people who know that the Tomcat servlet.xml declaration is called a 
context. 

Comment 4 Pavel Buzek 2004-04-16 06:39:22 UTC
I think this was fixed. The name used in 3.6 UI is Context Path and in
server registry we use Web Modules (in tomcat).
