You need to become familiar with this: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html The default app must be named ROOT - no ifs, ands, or buts. You can achieve this in one of three ways. If you want only your app to be available via Tomcat, change the appBase attribute of your <Host> element in conf/server.xml to point to the directory immediately above your application instead of webapps, and rename the directory your app is in to ROOT. If you want to keep the existing Tomcat apps (other than the normal ROOT), you must first delete the existing webapps/ROOT directory (or rename it). Following that, you can either move your app into webapps/ROOT, or create conf/[engine]/[host]/ROOT.xml containing a <Context> element with a docBase attribute pointing to your app. (Unless you've changed them, [engine] is Catalina, and [host] is localhost.) - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
