Description Kirill Sorokin 2006-12-18 10:22:25 UTC 
I have a Java EE Application Project with a Web Module. Once I added the module,
its context path was written to application.xml. However if I change the context
path in Web Module's properties later, the change is not propagated to
application.xml. 

This results in a somewhat unexpected behavior when deploying the application (I
thought that I did not need to change context root twice)

I'm not sure if I can agree with this. I can imagine this case: you have WAR that is "independent" (I mean it can be 
deployed without any EJB or EAR) - if you change the context path of this module, should it be changed the context 
path in any application.xml as well? I'm really not sure... What to do if the context path in application.xml was 
edited manually before (I mean one set it to any value by hand)? I think that this would be confusing...

Any comments/opinions? If not, I will close it as invalid...

I am adding Petr Pisl so he can comment.
Comment 3 Petr Pisl 2007-06-19 17:31:03 UTC 
I think both usecases are valid. Even I think that ksorokin's usecase is more often, but I don't have any data for this
and it's just my feeling. 

The IDE should ask, when user changes the context path in the web project, whether she wants to changed it also in the
java ee application. The web module can be part of more ear projects, so user should be able to select in which of them
it should be changed. 

Unfortunately we are not able to implement this in NetBeans 6.0 timeframe. There is missing infrastructure, which allow
to find out all the ear applications, which contain the web module. I wouldn't close the issue, but probably switch to
enhancement.

So marking as ENHANCEMENT with target milestone future - ok?
Comment 5 Martin Balin 2016-07-07 08:55:52 UTC 
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
