Tomcat Set Context Path for Web Application
Add a file called ROOT.xml
in $CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost/
This ROOT.xml
will override the default settings for the root context of the tomcat installation for that engine and host (Catalina and localhost).
Enter the following to the ROOT.xml
file:
<Context docBase="<yourApp>" path="" reloadable="true"/>
reloadable
default value is true
Here,
And there you go, your application is now the default application and will show up on http://localhost:8080
However, there is one side effect; your application will be loaded twice. Once for localhost:8080
and once for localhost:8080/yourApp
. To fix this you can put your application OUTSIDE $CATALINA_BASE/webapps
and use a relative or absolute path in the ROOT.xml
's docBase tag.
<Context docBase="/opt/mywebapps/<yourApp>" path=""/>
