Creating a java web application as the root of a domain name in Tomcat 6

Question

I am currently developing the Java myapp Java application and when deployed to a Tomcat 6 server, I get access to myapp with this URL: http://localhost:8080/myapp

Instead, I want to access my application using this URL: http://myapp:8080since myapp will be the only application deployed in my Tomcat 6.

How should I do it?

Answer 1

This can be done in Tomcat in basically two ways:

• Set the pathelement attribute <Context>to Webapp/META-INF/context.xml(or Tomcat/conf/server.xml, depending on where you want to define it) to an empty string. For instance.

  <Context path="">
  

• ROOT.war, Tomcat ROOT.

Tomcat , () , URL .htaccess ..

Answer 2

, , URL http://localhost:8080 not http://myapp:8080.

, tomcat, webapps (, , myapp), ROOT ( Tomcat 6). ROOT myapp ROOT. , , -- webapps, - ROOT.

tomcat/conf/, server.xml, server.xml, .
