The Context
element in the server.xml
file represents
a web module that executes within a particular host. The web module used to
process each HTTP request is selected based on matching the longest possible
prefix of the Request URI against the context path of each defined Context
.
You can define an unlimited number of Context
elements within a
particular Host
. Each Context
must have a unique context
path.
A Context
is created when a web module is executed or deployed
from within the IDE. The Context Root
property value, set on the
WEB-INF
property sheet, is used to generate the context path name
within the web server. The corresponding context
element is added
automatically to the appropriate server.xml
file. Typically, you
do not need to create contexts explicitly.
To add a Context
:
Context
, then choose Add Context from the contextual menu. A new Context
node appears under its Host
on the
Runtime tab in the Explorer. Using the contextual menu for this node, you can
set properties for the Context
.
