[siraj baig]

Hi,
I have developed a web application : "SampleWebApp"
To Access i will give : http://localhost:8080/SampleWebApp
But i want to access my application with out providing application name, as http://localhost:8080/


Please tell me, how can i configure in my web.xml




thanks,
siraj.

Not sure, but you can do the modifications in server.xml under conf directory. Please check it once, you can change appBase.

You'll need to move the application from the "SampleWebApp" directory to the root directory of the servlet container. If you're using Tomcat, it's the one called "ROOT".

Tomcat's "appBase" setting does something else.

Hi,

As tomcat always detect application with root name.

So, if your application deploy in tomcat with ROOT name you can access directly using http://localhost:8080/


So, deploy application with change name with ROOT.

Hi,

I have changed my app name to ROOT and accessed with http://localhost:8080/
But it's displaying me Tomcat Admin page.

Hi,

What i think that your application with ROOT name not deployed proper in Tomcat.

So try to deploy it proper.

This sounds wrong. The ROOT directory already exists; you need to move your application components into it, and change the web.xml file accordingly.

Hi,
If i want my app with the same name "SampleWebApp" Instead of ROOT, How can i achieve this

anyway you are not going to trigger using application name right?

[Ulf Dittmer]

What's the significance the web app name if it isn't part of the URL?

[siraj baig]

Hi,

Yes, there is no significance of application name, but i would like to know can we do this way also

Its so simple
The only thing is we have to set context path in your Tomcat/conf/server.xml

<Context path=""
docBase="/SimpleWebApps"
reloadable="true" >
</Context>
