That looks like the right sequence. I've just done the same thing here and it works as expected. Exactly which version are you running? The code needed to support the root context went on to HEAD on 8/Dec/2010, so the earliest community release that would have it is 3.4.c.

I'm running 3.4.d. After debugging I've found that in WebSiteServiceImpl::getWebSite key is "localhost:8080/". In refreshWebSiteCache key is "localhost:8080//". So they are not equal. I've added

if (context.equals("/")) {
context = "";
}

before the calculation of key in refreshWebSite. This solves my issue. Strange that you've a different behaviour…

I'm using the current HEAD and, trawling back, I can see why we're seeing different things.

On 11 April a fix went in for the problem you're seeing. Another went in on 9 June to fix a problem relating to cases where no port number had been specified. Together, these changed WebSiteServiceImpl.refreshWebsiteCache so that it changed from:


            if (context == null)
            {
                context = "";
            }
            String key = hostName + ":" + hostPort.toString() + "/" + context;
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍


            if (context == null)
            {
                context = "";
            }
            if (context.startsWith("/"))
            {
                context = context.substring(1);
            }
            if(hostPort == null)
            {
                // Default to port 80 if not set
                hostPort = new BigInteger("80");
            }
            String key = hostName + ":" + hostPort.toString() + "/" + context;
