Hi Daniel! We have the same setup here. I originally went into this mailing list asking if there was a possibility to un-set the applicationContext name. There's no possiblity to do this I believe. With Apache proxying to the tomcat application name you'll run into more problems as the <s:form> also prepends the context and there's no way to stop it and the session ID cookie that’s set for the user is also prepending the application context's name.
I guess until this feature will be implemented some day, there are three solutions: 1. Deploy the application on your tomcats productive root context 2. Change the struts2 code. I'm not too experienced with struts2, so I didn't try that. 3. We couldn't deploy in the root context here, the other possibility is a hack: Don't use <s:form>. Always includeContext="false" on <s:url>s . As this both leads to errors on your local test environment, the best way may be to construct your href-links yourself. And if you need user sessions, you can use javascript to set the cookie for the right (root) context, where you include the sessionid in one of your action's getters: <script type="text/javascript"> function createCookie(name,value,days) { if (days) { var date = new Date(); date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000)); var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString(); } else var expires = ""; document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/"; } $(document).ready(function() { createCookie("JSESSIONID","<s:property value='sessionid' />",3); }); </script> As I wrote, a dirty hack. I'd love the struts2 people to include a setter of some kind to manually define your appContext, that would solve all these problems.

But i run in a different problem now. Local Debugging is done here with Tomcat 5.5 in Eclipse. So there the Context is needed. On the Production Machine is running Apache as Proxy which proxies to Tomcat and back. There i don't want display the Context Name. Another way can be to set a Application Context, but the Documentation told me, that can not defined in web.xml. You have another hint for me?
