I am trying to deploy a web app to a Tomcat 5 installation with a mulitpart context root (example: /foo/bar). When I try to add a new project deployment I choose Tomcat 5 as the Server and the deploy location comes up as “INVALID”. If I change the context root so that it does not have a slash in the middle then everything works fine.

Is there anyway to deploy apps with a multi-part context as I have described?

I believe with autodeployment to Tomcat, which is used by MyEclipse, only a single level of root directory is permissible.

Does TOmcat correctly start & host your app when it looks like: <Tomcat 5>\webapps\foo\bar, where “WEB-INF” is under bar, and “foo” only contains “bar”?
