The CONTEXT_PATH documentation was misleading—it showed
/metricsbecoming/print/metricsbut didn't clarify that/print/*becomes/print/print/*, potentially confusing users about path conflicts.Changes:
/printor/secas CONTEXT_PATH values (results in double-prefixing)/printto/printserviceto demonstrate non-conflicting usageExample:
With
CONTEXT_PATH=/print, all servlet mappings are prefixed:/metrics→/print/metrics✓/print/*→/print/print/*(likely unintended)/sec/print/*→/print/sec/print/*(likely unintended)Use a non-conflicting path like
/printserviceinstead.💬 We'd love your input! Share your thoughts on Copilot coding agent in our 2 minute survey.
