Changing context logical path

[Ariel <ar...@wapcominc.com>]

I would like to invoke my servlets from

http://myHost/MyContextBase/MyServlet 

instead of:

http://MyHost/MyContextBase/servlet/MyServlet


In other words i want to ommit ../servlet from the path.

Is it possible?

I also had a question relating to this. I've actually modified my web.xml
file to include a servlet mapping, and when I do so, I can access the
servlet with the new mapping by hitting Tomcat directly with the http
request, but when I try to access the servlet from a request through the
appache server I get a page not found response, unless I modify the
mod_jk.conf file generated by Tomcat to include the new mappings as well.

Is there anyway to get this to happen automatically?

Yes. Just add the appropriate servlet mapping in the web.xml file in the WEB-INF directory of your webapp. Look at the examples web.xml file for a guide on how to do it.
