You have indeed to make the change in app-cfg.js.

How would you make it work from WEB-INF/classes? That is a JAVA path, not javascript. How would it know to contact the server … if it doesnt know the correct root to get the info from?

Well, this wasn't necessary on <5.16.4
…and this is a proposal for a workaround.
By the way I still encounter an issue;
Opening the Modeler for a deployed process (nb Edit Process button) forwards to a white page with this workaround.
Back to the workspace (back browser, I can see the editable entry created.
If I select that entry it's ok and Modeler appears with the editable view of the process.
So it seems that the context configuration isn't centralized to that file.

No; because this was a version with a lot less features. Feel free to use the older version if you believe it is superior.

My point is that is isnt a workaround, as the javascript has no way of accessing the WEB-INF/classes

I would need to check that, and if it is like that, then it is bugged.
