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,

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.

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

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>
