Where to put WAR file? for top level URL
iI want my Tomcat app to run at http://127.0.0.1/index.jsp instead of http://127.0.0.1/appname/index.jsp.
Right now it lives in the C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\appname folder, but I want it to see "appname" in the URL.
appname (obviously) is the name of the application. Seems like an easy one, but if the points are nto right, let me know.
what er the "gotchas" and how can I tell if the code it relative ( besides trying it)

Ok, I am going to try this tonight...possibly tommorow, and let you know. Once again, thanks for sticking with me..

This did not actually work, but I believe your answer to be correct. I ended up just putting in a redirect instead, from the root...seems like a deficiency in the product.
So points are awarded, sorry for the delay.
