Renaming distribution directory under$FORTE_ROOT/appdist/ env name /

Question

I am trying to replace an application with one whose
name matches the first 8 characters. When you deploy
an application with the same 8 characters, Forte
automatically starts a numbering scheme for the
distribution directories.
ie.
Let's say that an application named "myapplication" is
already deployed in the environment. I decide to
deploy another application named "myapplicationagain".
The disribution directory under appdist will be
"myapplic" for the first one and "myappli1" for the
second one.
What I want to do is totally replace an application
using the same directory name. Does the directory
naming convention come out of the code repository or
out of the environment repository? If it is out of
the code repository, is there an option in the
"c4tstdrv" utility that I could use to change the
default distribution directory name???? I have tried
"fscript" and can't seem to get the results I want.

Answer 1

As the server.xml is big enough, I took the minimum portion of it. Hope u can proceed with it.
<!-- Tomcat Root Context -->
<Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"/>
<!-- New contexts -->
<Context path="/xyz" docBase="pathTo_xyz" debug="0" crossContext="true"/>
<Context path="/pqr" docBase="pathTo_pqr" debug="0" crossContext="true"/>
<!-- Tomcat Examples Context -->
<Context path="/examples" docBase="examples" debug="0"
reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
You should also provide a WEB-INF folder under pqr or xyz folder.
You should also provide a web.xml file under each WEB-INF folder.
The minimal web.xml is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
</web-app>
That's it. Try it out. Hope it is OK.
