Renaming "everything" is a very simple operation. If the webapp is constructed correctly it should operate regardless of context path and make adjustments as necessary. At most, some links between webapps will have to be updated to reflect the adjustments in path.

I also can't recommend Apache httpd in front unless the site is a mixed bag of technology -- perl, php, java, user client based html authoring, etc., ...

All I can say is I have a different opinion on this point.

Hi David,

assuming the client gets his software delivered from different vendors, one day changes his mind to make another app his default application, then what?
rename everything over again?

The best solution is, leave the web-app it's name and forward with a
index.jsp inside the ROOT-context to the required app since changing this
file is way easier than renaming the wep-apps.

Besides, if it's a real-world-app, I suggest having Apache HTTP in front so that you can also use all those feature Tomcat lags, like url-rwriting etc.

Just my 0.02 €
