Have you considered deploying your application as root.war?

NB: ROOT.war is the filename that Tomcat looks for as the root application.

Having incorrect case in the filename root.war would result in the application under, using the OP's example,

http://hostname:6293/root

Subject: Trying to Map a web application to "/" in tomcat 5.5


Hi,
We are trying to Map the URl of our tomcat instance such that the webapp
"appadmin" maps to "/"
The tomcat version being used is tomcat 5.5.17
We are trying to do this by specifying the following in server.xml

  <Service name="Catalina">
    <Connector port="6293" />

    <!-- This is here for compatibility only, not required -->
    <Connector port="8017" protocol="AJP/1.3" />

    <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">
<!--      <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm"
             resourceName="UserDatabase" /> crossContext="false"  -->

      <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWars="true"
autoDeploy="true">
    <Valve className="com.cisco.manager.impl.ManagerValve" />
    <Context docBase="/appadmin" path="/appadmin" reloadable="true"
wrapperClass="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper">
    <Valve className="com.cisco.uccx.UccxAuthenticator"
characterEncoding="UTF-8"/>
    <Realm className="com.cisco.uccx.UccxRealm"/>
       </Context>


        </Host>
    </Engine>

  </Service>

But when we try to navigate to a servlet mapped to the URL pattern
/appadmin/Main (specified in web.xml), we are not able to reach it using
http://hostname:6293/appadmin/Main. We still have to use
http://hostname:6293/appadmin/appadmin/Main

The same use to work in Tomcat 3.2. We are in the process of migrating to
tomcat 5.5.
Also we are using form based authentication where the url pattern is
specified as /appadmin/* as most of our URL patterns start with
/appadmin/..
in web.xml
Any idea on what we are doing wrong?
Regards
Aakriti
