Currently the subsystem web.xml contains slots that need to substituted during deployment in order to generate the value for cfgPath parameter:

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>...</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.netscape.cms.servlet.base.CMSStartServlet</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>cfgPath</param-name>
            <param-value>[PKI_INSTANCE_PATH]/conf/[PKI_SUBSYSTEM_TYPE]/CS.cfg</param-value>
        </init-param>
        ...

   </servlet>

The value can actually be computed with this code:

ServletContext servletContext = config.getServletContext();
String instanceDir = System.getProperty("catalina.base");
String subsystem = servletContext.getContextPath().substring(1);
String path = instanceDir + "/conf/" + subsystem + "/CS.cfg";

So the cfgPath can be removed from the web.xml. This way the web.xml no longer needs to be customized for each instance, allowing direct web application deployment in the future. See: http://pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Customization#Direct_Deployment

An upgrade script is needed to remove the cfgPath from existing web.xml.
