Tomcat 5.0 server shortened URL

Hi

I'm setting up a Tomcat 5.0 server, with only one webapp. The path to the default app is quite long, so in /etc/tomcat5/server.xml I set up a Context, effectively mapping /webMathematica/JWS to /. http://tiger/webMathematica/JWS/database then becomes http://tiger/database.

Now, I have a subdirectory (/journals) that needs to be secured with a password. Following the documentation, auth works if you access it via http://tiger/webMathematica/JWS/journals, but not via http://tiger/journals. I can't find good resources on Tomcat on the web.

Do any of you have experience with this? How do I make HTTP auth work with the shortened URL?
