Cheng, I am just learning too, but the following links speak to your problem:
http://localhost:8080/tomcat-docs/appdev/deployment.html http://localhost:8080/tomcat-docs/config/index.html and in particular http://localhost:8080/tomcat-docs/config/context.html and if you are hosting others, check out http://localhost:8080/tomcat-docs/config/host.html#User%20Web%20Applicat ions (Of course, you have to have tomcat running to get to these URLs. Alternatively, you can get them from the filesystem. I assume you know how.) As you noticed, there is an implicit context created for each subdir of $catalinahome/webapps.
