Som, Thanks for replying back. Its a good idea. That is not what I am looking for though. What you have given looks like a work around. Coming from the IIS world, I can set aside the folder c:\vruksha as the folder where I have my html files are. Then I go to IIS set aside a virtual folder then say that c:\vruksha is the folder that the acutal files reside in. May be this is a feature of APACHE WEBSERVER and I am trying to look for that inside of tomcat. But still I should be able to say that the ROOT is not the default app but /vruksha is. I am not sure if this is even configurable inside server.xml or at the hosts level, saying ROOT for the default host is /vruksha. -Narahari
