How to set the context path of a web application in Tomcat 7.0

Question

I know that I can rename my webapp (or it\'s WAR file) to ROOT but this is a terrible way to do it, IMHO. Now I checked out the tomcat doc & it says

Answer 1

I faced this problem for one month,Putting context tag inside server.xml is not safe it affect context elements deploying for all other host ,for big apps it take connection errors also not good isolation for example you may access other sites by folder name domain2.com/domain1Folder !! also database session connections loaded twice ! the other way is put ROOT.xml file that has context tag with full path such :

in conf/catalina/webappsfoldername and deploy war file as ROOT.war inside webappsfoldername and also specify host such

In this approach also for same type apps user sessions has not good isolation ! you may inside app1 if app1 same as app2 you may after login by server side session automatically can login to app2 ?! So you have to keep users session in client side cache and not with jsessionid ! we may change engine name from localhost to solve it. but let say playing with tomcat need more time than play with other cats!
