Moving Tomcat Root

Question

When I start tomcat, it starts serving from localhost: 8080 /. I would like it to start serving the local host: 8080 / aaa. I don't want to replace the “root” webapp with “aaa” webapp, I want tomcat to treat “/ aaa” as “/” in the sense that before, when I could do something like

• localhost: 8080 / -> root webapp
• localhost: 8080 / webapp1 -> webapp1
• and etc.

Now I want to do something like:

• localhost: 8080 / aaa ---> root webapp
• localhost: 8080 / aaa / webapp1 -> webapp1
• and etc.

Any help would be great.
