The short version is -- to publish an application in the "root" web url path (of http(s)://your.server-name.com/), you can name your WAR file "ROOT.war" and copy it to the <catalina-base>/webapps folder. Tomcat will extract it into a folder called "ROOT", but this is not a subfolder called "ROOT" when served to clients, it's served as "/". Nothing else needs doing to map paths -- nothing really on your context, or any system config file, etc. On Wed, Jun 19, 2024 at 4:17 PM Stephen Tenberg <stephentenb...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you.
