I have similar problem. 
However since I use JSF all my links and references are defined in
faces-config.xml file.

${pageContext.request.contextPath} is not very clean solution since one
definitely do not want this statements across all JSPs, Servlets, config
files, etc.

For example in Oracle App Server you can configure such behavior in
/config/http-web-site.xml.

Is there any way to configure Tomcat so that it treats
http://localhost:8888/myApp/ as a root context for building absolute paths
within myApp?

Thanks,
Alexey.
