DOCUMENTATION

Context

A Context is a set of resources that can be located using URLs with a common parent URL. The common parent URL is the ID of the context. A web site is comprised of contexts, for example, "/" is the root Context mapped to the document root of a web site; "/cgi-bin/" is the context dedicated to CGI applications. If you think of your website as a URL tree, then every branch is a context which can be identified by the URL of the branching node. A context should be explicitly defined for the following purposes:
  • To use another cluster other than the default one.
  • To redirect requests to another location.
