tomcat 5.5.9 aliases

[tadamski <th...@gmail.com>]

Is it possible to give an alias to an application like you can with a
servlet? I have a war named myWar-1.2.3.4.war located in my webapps
directory.  In my web.xml within the war directory WEB-INF/web.xml I have
the servlet appropriately mapped to '/'.

All that said (and hopefully understood) above I can access the servlet @
http://localhost/myWar-1.2.3.4/ now my question is, is there a way to give
that war an alias so I can access is @ http://localhost/alias/ 
I would like to maintain the name and version number on the actual war file,
but just exclude it from the url.

Thank You,
tadamski

Keep the webapp outside of the Tomcat directory structure so Tomcat
won't automatically deploy it under the name of the .war file.  Then,
create the file conf/Catalina/[host]/[alias].xml containing a <Context>
element with a docBase attribute pointing to the absolute location of
the webapp.  This will let you reference the webapp by whatever you use
for [alias].

P.S.  You might want to upgrade to a later version of 5.5 - lots of
fixes have gone in since then.
