I don't see any direct way to do this. There are a couple of indirect mechanisms that should work, but both depend on using something other than "app1" under ROOT; we'll use "app1r" in the following: 1) Put a welcome page in the app1 webapp that redirects to /app1r; this exposes the renaming to the client, which may be undesirable. 2) Use a filter in the app1 webapp that forwards the request to /app1r; this requires enabling cross-context, which should not be a problem. 3) Use a valve at the <Host> level to forward the request to /app1r; this would be Tomcat-specific, but would avoid changes to app1. If you are front-ending Tomcat with httpd, I think you could also use URL rewriting in httpd to get the request to go where you want it. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
