The easiest thing to do is just rename the .war file, but if you insist on doing things the hard way: 1) Do not put the .war file in the <Host> appBase directory - keep it somewhere else. 2) Create a file named newurlname.xml in conf/Catalina/[host] containing a <Context> element. 3) Set the docBase attribute of the above <Context> element to point to the *absolute* path to the .war file. > I've seen in the docs that you can specify an xml file under > Catalina_Home/Catalina/localhost/newurlname.xml. What docs were those? They left out a critical component of the path (at least for a real Tomcat installation). > in my xml file I just have a <Context></Context> definition An empty <Context> element is never needed. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
