Once you create a default context in the admin app for tomcat and commit changes the default context is added to the server.xml However after a restart, the default context page is no longer accessible. Steps to reproduce: 1) Take release and install. 2) Start tomcat. 3) Log into admin application 4) Navigate to Host (localhost) 5) In Host Actions, choose Create New Default Context 6) Make appropriate settings in New Default Context and save. 7) Commit Changes 8) Log out 9) Restart tomcat 10) Login to admin app and navigate to Host (localhost) -> Default Context 11) Error reported : type Status report message Error retrieving attribute debug description The server encountered an internal error (Error retrieving attribute debug) that prevented it from fulfilling this request.
Mark fixed this in cvs. Should be available in the next release.
