Using the pop-up menu and dialog box to add a new Tomcat context from a Web Module mounted as a CVS filesystem fails because the path (or "docBase") is prepended with "CVS ". The sub-string has to be manually removed for Tomcat to actually find the files. Incidently, it is not always possible to remove it in the dialog box before actually performing the addition. Sometimes the text field becomes non-editable unpredictibly, so the context has to be added "as-is" and the docBase later adjusted in the properties pane.
Its a similar issue than 26724. Add Context action should handle cases when web module is mounded as a CVS filesystem.
Fixed in trunk. (development builds) Diff : http://web.netbeans.org/source/browse/tomcatint/tomcat40/src/org/netbeans/modules/tomcat/tomcat40/actions/AddContextPanel.java.diff?r1=1.4&r2=1.5
Verified with the build 200304160100
