If you want to have multiple applications running on the same tomcat but each has a URL that hides this you need to use a reverse proxy server.
End User ----> Reverse Proxy (NGINX for example ) -------------------------------------> App 1 http://foo.bar/ -------------------------------------> http://app.server:7832/foo http://baz/bar/ -------------------------------------> http://app.server:7832/bar This is more complicated to setup but has the benefit of being able to move the tomcat instance around (a different port or server, for example) without the End User needed to change the URL they use. If you don't want to run and manage a new process there are some java based reverse proxies that I think you could run on the Tomcat server itself: http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/ServletProxy. You won't be able to hide the port with these however. -Dave -----Original Message----- From: Kikkeri, Amith [mailto:amith.kikk...@aig.com] Sent: Monday, November 16, 2015 9:11 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Access application without giving port number and context root Hi, I don’t want to install my application as ROOT.war application.
