Deploying Java application on Tomcat 7 with Context Versioning

Question

I am working on an API that is built on top of the Spark mini-framework (http://sparkjava.com/)

Whenever I build a package through Maven, which is then uploaded to the webapps/ folder under Tomcat 7.

(The real name have been replaced with TestProject to avoid disclosing anything propritary)

If I compile the project and name it TestProject.war, it is loaded with the following information:

Path: /TestProject

Version: None specified

Upon opening http://localhost:8080/TestProject/ I then get the expected output:

{"code":400,"message":"The authorization information was not specified in the request"}

If I then rename the file to TestProject##0.0.1-SNAPSHOT_20160308.161909.war and restart Tomcat, the application is loaded with the following details:

Path: /TestProject

Version: 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT_20160308.161909

Unfortunately, when opening the same url, Tomcat returns 404:

HTTP Status 404 - /

type Status report

message /

description The requested resource is not available. Apache

Tomcat/7.0.67

I simply don't know what causes the problem.. The only difference is the name of the .war
