servlet context to tomcat 7 root

Question

Whats the best approach to place servlet context to tomcat 7 root? I have tried this post here but didn\'t work for me; i\'m using Apache Tomcat/7.0.42

Answer 1

In your Tomcat's conf/server.xml file, you'll typically have an entry

for your application.

Change the path to /

Add this in the Host entry. For example

where the docBase attribute is the name of your app as it appears in the webapps folder. The docs explain the meaning of each attribute.
