Thanks a lot for the prompt reply. I have tried doing that but in that case I will not be able to access my application using URL http://localhost:8080/myapp/, I'll just be able to access it using http://localhost:8080/ I want the users of my web application to be able to access it using both the URLs. This is the requirement of our project.
