If you change the context path as described below by Yoav, you must also change the existing servlet mapping...
<servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>HelloWorldServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/mywebapp/HelloWorld</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> I think that the real question here should be... Why are you trying to do this? Can you not simply access the servlet via /mywebapp/HelloWorld?

Therefore, you WILL need to put an explicity context element in your server.xml, which includes: <Context docBase="mywebapp.war" path="" ...> Moreover, within your web.xml, you will need to add one more servlet-mapping: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>HelloWorldServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/servlet/HelloWorld</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> Personally, I don't like having more than one servlet-mapping per servlet, but that's just my preference. The standard allows many mappings and tomcat allows many mappings without a problem. I hope this helps, Yoav Shapira Millennium ChemInformatics This e-mail, including any attachments, is a confidential business communication, and may contain information that is confidential, proprietary and/or privileged.
