Hi Kana,
Thank you so much for testing. A good catch, please report this issue.
I like your suggestion too to
improve the usability. I think there is a way to let user change the
xml deployment descriptor, if we
have a message to point user to do that, it would be very helpful since
context root issue is a very
common error.
Have a good new week :-)
