# context.<context_name>.sessionmgr=session manager (some session managers
# (like MMapSessionManager) can only be instatiated once within the
# server
# context.<context_name>.sessionmgr.initArgs=list of (name, value) pairs which
# will represent parameters specific to the session manager
# context.<context_name>.initArgs=list of (name, value) pairs which will be added
# to this context's attributes
# context.<context_name>.respondCookieVersion=(cookie version) tells the server
# whether to respond with specific cookie version

# context only)
# context.<context_name>.bufferSize=bytes - initial http output stream buffer size
# context.<context_name>.docRoot=path (forward slashes only) - this context
# document root when not specified - web server's document root
# will be used (default)
# context.<context_name>.inputStreamLengthCheck=(true|false) - makes
# ServletInputStream stop reading data when Content-Length bytes
# are read
# context.<context_name>.outputStreamFlushTimer=(seconds|0) - forces the stream
