RE: DNS NAMES

[micael]

You need to understand that http://www.test.com/test/test.htm is a compound name, meaning that it covers differing naming systems/applications. test.com comes from the the internet naming strategy and is read, as a tree structure, from right to left. However, the file test/test.htm comes from a file naming strategy and is read, as a tree structure, from left to right. You, essentially, are trying to combine two disparate but cooperative naming systems.

No, it is not possible.  "www.test.com" is a hostname, equal to an IP
address.  "/final" can never work in DNS, "/" is an illegal hostname
character.

Since this is completely off topic, you should RTFM on the Internet Domain
Name System, then come back with a Tomcat question.
