No. You want webapps/myapp to be treated as the ROOT context for a host. appBase="webapps/myapp" means look in the webapps/myapp directory to find contexts for this host. The ROOT context in that case would be webapps/myapp/ROOT As a general rule any configuration that boils down to docBase=="" (which is the same as appBase==docBase) is not going to behave they way you want it to. > I want http://localhost/myapp/ and http://localhost:666/ to mean the > same, so just moving the webapps root a level deeper seems the logical > thing to do.

If you follow that route yes. Another option would be to put the webapp somewhere outside of any host's appBase and then you can use context.xml files under CATALINA_BASE/<engine name>/<host name> to add the webapp to as many hosts as you like.
