Hmm... might help to define But it doesn't work. How exactly does it not work? For the record, you Context element should *not* be in conf/context.xml. That file defines defaults for all webapps. It *should* be in one of two places: webapps/StrutsDemo/META-INF/context.xml in which case

So you want you make your webapp to also respond at http://[myServer:port]/welcome. You can achieve a second launch of your webapp just by placing welcome.xml (w/ your Context config) in [TomcatHome]/conf/Catalina/localhost. Just know this is a second launch, not an alias to the first
