The "name" of the webapp (what's used on the URI) is determined by its location, not anything else (unless you put a <Context> tag in server.xml, but you're not supposed to do that). Tomcat special cases the location ROOT, so whatever is stored in there becomes the default application. > OK, lets say I take the contents from the war file and place all loose > in root ... that should work then, and my problem would be > resolved. Easier just to name the file ROOT.war, put it in webapps, and delete the webapps/ROOT directory. > But if I want another app, lets say devmywebapp, how does that work. As I > cannot put two folderless apps together under root. Each directory or .war file immediately under webapps is a webapp (at the risk of being redundant). This is intended to be a single-level layout - webapps aren't supposed to be nested (although they sometimes seem to work that way). Only one app can be the default (by definition), and that's the one in ROOT (or ROOT.war); put your other app under webapps/devmywebapp or whatever name you want to use. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
