If you want to hide the URL, you can use mod_rewrite to add the "mywebapp" on the server side, but this will be more work to maintain, and it may not be so easy to maintain the abstration in the JSP (perhaps sticking to fully relative URL's?)
I think it may be possible to make the Tomcat context "/" - we couldn't do that in our system (JServ based) as we also serve static content from the same hosts.

Here's my setup:Tomcat 3.2.1 with Apache 1.3.19 on Red Hat 6.2.
We have about 50 IP based virtual hosts, some of which use Tomcat, others
which do not.Is it possible to setup Tomcat to serve a virtual host the contents of a
context without the context name having to be in the URL?I.e. www.somedomain.com goes directly to the context mywebapp instead of it
having to be www.somedomain.com/mywebapp/ ?I thought I saw a site that did this but I wasn't sure, especially since I
have Apache in the mix and all the virtual hosts...The FAQ-O-Matic answer is to put in a redirect. That works fine, just seems
less elegant.Any ideas?
