Hi Rashmi, Thanks! Worked! :) By renaming myApp.xml to ROOT.xml and changing path="" in both ROOT.xml and myApp/context.xml, I can access my application as http://localhost:8080.
But I am curious, why http://localhost:8080/myApp did NOT work?

It is also fine to keep your project outside Tomcat's webapps folder, it makes it easier to upgrade Tomcat in the future. > context.xml under myApp has > <Context path="/myApp"/> Also change path to path="" in context.xml > > http://localhost:8080 brings up the default Tomcat homepage. After making the above configuration changes in ROOT.xml and context.xml the app should be accessible at http://localhost:8080/ > I am NOT able to access my application as http://localhost:8080/myApp > Ideally, I would like to access my application as http://localhost:8080. > So what am I missing in my definitions in myApp.xml or > myApp/context.xml? > > Thanks a lot > Lakshmi > The concept is that ROOT.xml represents the root context which corresponds to the first slash / after http://localhost:8080 If the context is called myApp.xml then naturally it is not the root context so it appears under the myApp context. Hope this clears things up.
