default web app
Hi ALL,
I'm very afraid posting this question since I think it's very common,
but I was not able to find any useful answer.
I have Tomcat running with just my application. Under <tomcat>/webapps
there is just my web application (let's say 'myapp').
Now I would like that http://localhost:8080/ will be served by my
application, so I would like that my application runs as default web
application.
I don't have any restriction so I can deploy it as directory or as war;
the only restriction is that I can't rename it in ROOT.
I tried a lot of combinations in the context.xml file or creaing a new
context file under <tomcat>/catalina/localhost (also with ROOT.xml)
without success.
Anyone could help me ?
Thanks a lot
ste

You can use a valve (specific to Tomcat) or a filter (supported by all servlet containers) to forward or redirect requests to another webapp. You can also install a dummy webapp for the secondary context that does the forward or redirect to the primary.
Look here for an open source ready-to-wear filter that should do what you need:

I don't want to use two different virtual hosts, it seems too complicated
(even if I agree that it's not soo complicated in general).
The only way I found it's creating a ROOT.xml file under
<tomcat>/conf/catalina/localhost and putting my webapp in a directory
different from <tomcat>/webapps.
This is a shame, since anyone looks there for web applications.
I would change my question:
If I have an application "appA" that serves http://localhost:8080/appA, is
there a way to have it serving also http://localhost:8080/case2 ?
Cheers

Perhaps you should use virtual hosts then.

Since in some case I must install others applications that I can't check
it and maybe someones of that is ROOT; in such case, I would like just
to change some "configuration" files instead of renaming the whole
application.
I know that it's a strange requirement, but that is.

Why not? That's the simplest thing to do.
