what is tomcat.servlet.context.path for in the pom file?

[cosmoJFH]

What is purpose of the parameter

<tomcat.servlet.context.path>/source</tomcat.servlet.context.path>

in the pom file?

Could it be used in the the target

<build>
	<finalName>source</finalName>

making the change

	<finalName>${tomcat.servlet.context.path}</finalName>

?

I think it was meant to be a property passed to the tomcat7-maven-plugin. It is certainly sensible to avoid duplication.

The first two were used in 65ec671 , looks like the tomcat.servlet.context.path is still unused. Instead, the plugin uses <path>/${project.build.finalName}</path>.

Thanks for you quick answer. We really appreciate your effort to develop this project.

I think we should do something about this unused property.

[cosmoJFH]

Let me know whether I could contribute to solve this.

I think the finalName can be replaced with the Tomcat property, feel free to submit a PR for that (you'd need to sign Oracle Contributor Agreement).
