Exercise 1 Question re:annotatio-war test sample

[Robert Ruth]

I started this course today and am understanding most things well.   I have run into something that puzzles me and I would like to understand what is happening better.

I am using Netbeans and when I run the code, the browser pops up pointing to localhost:8080/annotation-war and the page renders with the correct message.  What I would like to know is what is it that set the name annotation-war into the URL?  The only file that I find the string "annotation-war" in is the context.xml.  I changed the string to "larry" and did a clean-build and run and the browser STILL comes up pointing to localhost:8080/annotation-war and the data displays correctly... so it is NOT the field in context.xml that sets it but I don't see anything in the @WebServlet annotation that does either.  I haven't been able to find any mapping that would do it I am frankly stumped.

If anyone can tell me, I would sure appreciate it.

Sorry for the late response.  The default behavior,
when there no file that specifies the context explicitly,
is that the name of the war file is used as
the context.
