Hello,

I have built a war file using maven, which consist of spring 3, hibernate 3.5.6-final, and JPA2.
When I deployed to tomcat 7.0, it thrown the following exception:

2011-6-20 11:29:03 org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployWAR
<D0><C5>Ϣ: Deploying web application archive guest-book.war
2011-6-20 11:29:03 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext setPath
: A context path must either be an empty string or start with a '/'. The path [ixsystems-msp-product-catalog] does not meet these criteria and has been changed to [/ixsystems-msp-product-catalog]
Here is how I defined my context path in web.xml:

<context-param>
<param-name>webAppRootKey</param-name>
<param-value>ixsystems-msp-product-catalog</param-value>
</context-param>
in src/main/webapp/META-INF/context.xml:
<Context path="ixsystems-msp-product-catalog" crossContext="true" />
I am wondering what is wrong with my spring configuration and how to resolve the error.

Thank you in advance for your time and would appreciate for your suggestion.

Thanks
Sam
