Thanks, I'll have a look at war-files.

Yes, this is the mechanism I _need_. What I _want_ is to add something to the
URL, I use to access my webapps. After you made your 'bla'-directory, you could
access it at:
http://yourtomcatserver/bla
I want the URL to be
http://yourtomcatserver/java/bla
even though you haven't made a 'java'-directory. I want to to make some sort of
global configuration change, so that all my "Tomcat URLS" start with
http://mytomcatserver/java/[webapp]
instead of just.
http://mytomcatserver/[webapp]
Am I talking clearer now? :-)

Lars
