You're looking to deploy the application at the root Context, and the root Context is the first slash after the URL , for example http://localhost:8080/ <<< thats the root Context. > http://localhost:8080/myAppname/servletname In the above case , myAppname is the Context. The default behavior I've seen is that when one places a someApp.war under the webapps folder someApp automatically becomes the context. > I am not much familiar with tomcat. Please let me know how to achieve it. There are different configurations possible, the list of configurations I'm writing here is just to give a hint and may not be complete and may be partially correct but it gives the desired behavior. 1) One configuration is back up the default ROOT folder that ships with Tomcat and then rename myAppname.war to ROOT.war , then you can access the app at http://localhost:8080/ --- the root Context. 2) Another configuration is: In development environment , remove the myAppname.war and delete the myAppname folder from the webapps folder --- assuming you backed this up somewhere. Also delete ROOT.war and ROOT folder under webapps folder. Then simply create a ROOT.xml (Context file) under Tomcat's /conf/Catalina/localhost/ folder , define the With the above configuration also you can access your application at http://localhost:8080/ 3) Other configurations are also possible, but the above are what I know as of now. > > Thanks in advance > Ashok > -Regards Rashmi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@tomcat.apache.org
