Every web application has its own set of files, rooted to its own directory or zipped as war file. The "WEB-INF/web.xml" file is one of those files. The "WEB-INF/web.xml" file for the "ROOT" web application is indeed $CATALINA_BASE/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml. The file for the "manager" web application is $CATALINA_BASE/webapps/manager/WEB-INF/web.xml. and so on. The global defaults file "$CATALINA_BASE/conf/web.xml" should not be modified. > which is considered "more elegant" or better +1 to Martynas's answer. The web.xml is defined by specification, better understood and better tested, and is supported by other Servlet Containers besides Apache Tomcat. In general, there should be more people who are able to help with it, compared to helping with a RewriteValve. (Though if there are a lot of Apache HTTPD Server administrators around you, the rewrite syntax will be more familiar to them).
