In the default tomcat build there is a ROOT webapp which maps to /. Now I
would like to map the pages and servlets in ROOT to some other path and have a
webapp of my own which handles /.
I tried something like this in server.xml:
<Context path="/root"
docBase="webapps/ROOT"
debug="0"
reloadable="true"
trusted="true" >
</Context>
<!-- Main applications and servlets -->
<Context path=""
docBase="webapps/main"
debug="1"
reloadable="true"
trusted="true" >
</Context>
In other words, /root will map to the tomcat home page, etc. It works fine
except of course my main web app is loaded twice: once when server.xml is read
and once at autosetup time. AutoSetup scans the webapps directory, finds
"main" and because there isn't a /main context, loads the context again. This
means that my load-on-startup servlets get loaded twice.
Is there a better way of doing this?
