Bug #7214
closedMetacat overwrites the deployDir property
0%
Description
On a fresh installation of Metacat, the application.deployDir property value gets overwritten. This is undesirable for Docker deployments where the Metacat Admin UI is not used for configuration, but rather the metacat.properties file is pre-configured for deployment. Fix this. It looks to be happening in the PropertiesAdmin.configureProperties() method:
PropertyService.setPropertyNoPersist("application.deployDir",
SystemUtil.discoverDeployDir(request));
Look at the consequences of not calling discoverDeployDir() and perhaps remove this. Needs review.

The issue turns out to be Tomcat 8 has change the format of current path.
In Tomcat 7, it was /opt/local/share/java/tomcat7/webapps/metacat/.
But in Tomcat 8, it is /opt/local/share/java/tomcat8/webapps/metacat
So the fancy pattern match doesn't work.
Since we just want to remove the context part, I used the old lastIndexOf and substring method in the String class. It worked well.
