There's a difference between webapp names and servlet names. You want to change the webapp's name. To do that, just change the name of the webapp in the webapps folder ie pub_db -> publications or pub_db.war -> publications.war. You may have to make a similar name change to the context.xml file in conf/Catalina/localhost and then restart tomcat.
