Prefix Paths on Servlets
I developed a servlet with the package name "idm.war". Therefore, my
URL is http://myhost/idm/...
However, it's recently been requested that I add a prefix to my
servlet. Now it should be http://myhost/it/idm/...
Does tomcat provide a configuration that would allow me to add "/it"
to just this servlet as a prefix, without having to repackage my war
as "it.war" (my package is not all of IT's servlets, so I don't want
to package it as such)? I looked at the servlet context, and I don't
believe that does what I need. Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
-Ryan

You can't use the manager app or any other conventional script I know of
to do deployment or redeployment. (Remember, your .war file must be
placed outside of the normal webapps directory.) All that's needed to
deploy the app is to copy the it#idm.xml file into conf/Catalina/[host]
- nothing else should be moved or updated.

My apologies, I replied to the wrong thread...
So I've been able to deploy the servlet and access it with the "/it"
prefix, however, I noticed that when I redeploy my war, my custom
it#idm.war context file is also removed. Is there a way to keep that
transient between deployments? Or package it with the war?

My apologies... I'm on Tomcat 5.5. I'll take a look at it and give
that a try. Thanks Chuck!

Assuming you're running a reasonably modern version of Tomcat (you
didn't bother to tell us), then place your idm.war file somewhere other
than the <Host> appBase directory (usually webapps). Then, create a
file in conf/Catalina/[host] named it#idm.xml containing a <Context>
element with a docBase attribute pointing to the location of the idm.war
file.
As long as you haven't hard-coded the path in the html/jsp/java source,
you should be o.k.
