(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
Ann, let's meet to resolve this.
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.
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).
