Chris, Whoever you are >> I am just a relatively novice Java developer. and certainly not as famous or an expert like you.
The correct way of doing things is to make re-name your web application ROOT and deploy it as such. If you want to get rid of the port number, you'll have to run Tomcat on port 80 instead of 8080 or 86 or whatever >> Ok. but what if i have to do this for multiple applications on a single tomcat. I guess tomcat can have only one default ROOT app. right? >> Also general practice is to run tomcat behind HTTP and not expose it directly to internet. Please forgive me if my assumptions are absurd Thanks, Shailesh.
