Sorry about the formatting issue. Here is the corrected version.-----------=
--------------------------------------------------------------------

My application context is defined as an XML file located in `my/path/to/Tom=
cat/conf/Catalina/localhost/my-app.xml`.

=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 <Context docBase=3D'/my/path/to/myApp/myAppWarFile.war'>
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 <Environment name=3D'my_config_dir' va=
lue=3D'/my/path/to/myApp' type=3D'java.lang.String'/>
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 </Context>

`/my/path/to/myApp` contains the WAR file myAppWarFile.war and a number of =
externalized properties that are read by Spring.

Tomcat is configured with autoDeploy turned off. When I start Tomcat, it cr=
eates `my/path/to/Tomcat/conf/webapps/my-app/` and the WAR file gets unpack=
ed into this location as expected, and the application of course can run as=
 expected.

When I want to deploy a new version without restarting Tomcat, I run the un=
deploy command as follows:

=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 curl http://localhost:8080/manager/text/undeploy?path=3D=
/my-app --user my-username:my-password

... and that works. But when I instruct Tomcat to deploy with the following=
 curl statement, I get a failure.

=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 curl http://localhost:8080/manager/text/deploy?config=3D=
file:/my/path/to/Tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/my-app.xml --user my-userna=
me:my-password
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 # Tomcat response
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 FAIL - Invalid context path null was specified

Adding the path does not help much, I still get a failure.

=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 curl http://localhost:8080/manager/text/deploy?config=3D=
file:/my/path/to/Tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/my-app.xml\&path=3D/my-app =
--user my-username:my-password

=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 # Tomcat response
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 FAIL - Failed to deploy application at context path /my-=
app

The worst part is that tailing catalina.out does not yield any insight. And=
 on top of that, Tomcat deletes the application context XML file `my/path/t=
o/Tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/my-app.xml`!

Naturally I have reviewed Tomcat documentation (https://tomcat.apache.org/t=
omcat-8.0-doc/manager-howto.html#Deploy_using_a_Context_configuration_%22.x=
ml%22_file) and I have googled all day to figure this out, but I have not f=
ound anything that can help me with this particular configuration.

It feels as though the choice is:=20

=C2=A01. Tomcat with autoDeploy on (not recommended for production) in whic=
h case simply dropping the new WAR to `/my/path/to/myApp/` will cause Tomca=
t to hot deploy the app.
=C2=A02. Tomcat with autoDeploy off, but re-deploying requires a Tomcat res=
tart because the deploy API does not seem to be working as advertised.

Has anybody made this work with this configuration?

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I turned up the logging on Catalina. When I run the first deploy command wi=
thout the path, I get this set of log entries:
