After searching online(seeing mixed results), and searching through the Wiki, I was hoping someone can confirm how I can do the following:
I installed my app, and it has a default URL of: http://something:port/webappname/morestuff.action I was wondering if it was possible to setup Tomcat so I could browse to here: http://something and have it either point at my webapp or redirect to my webapp. >> You can do this by running your tomcat behind HTTP. >> I had put this question on SO please find below the link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22040995/show-home-page-through-tomcat-without-changing-url/22051976#22051976 please let me know if this helps. Chris, can you please put some more light on what I have done is correct way of doing it or not. I did it because i wanted to have landing page of my website which had dynamic content to be loaded and i didn't want to use redirection to any other url. Thanks, Shailesh.
