It is simpler for everyone to keep a simple url like this :
http://localhost:8080/petals-webconsole/

instead of :
http://localhost:8080/petals-webconsole-2.0/ , http://localhost:8080/petals-webconsole-2.0.1/ & so on.

This default context should be fixed in the deployment descriptor of the webapp, to keep the same url across versions.

We cannot fix the context path for each version, because certain web servers deploy the webapp with the context path linked to the war name therefore for each version of the Petals Webconsole the context path is update.

You need to set the context path when you deploy the webapp in your preferred web server, like tomcat how you can see in attachment.

The context path is a specific parameter to each web server.

The WebApp context can't be fixed in the web.xml deployment descriptor and is specific to each server. You should configure it on your server.
