I tried this route, and the results are quite remarkable.
When I deploy the webapp as ROOT.war, it gets to serve all requests that
don't match anything else. So if the webapps dir looks like this:
/ROOT.war
/SomeApp/*
/OtherApp.war
When I send a request for /SomeApp/something, it goes to the webapp in
that folder, likewise a request for /OtherApp/something ends up in the
OtherApp servlet.
A request for /foo or /bar, which does not match anything in the folder,
gets sent to the ROOT.
With this mechanism, I could program the ROOT as (in pseudocode):
if port == 666:
handle(pathinfo)
else if pathinfo.startwith('/MyApp'):
handle(pathinfo.split('/',2)[1])
else:
error(404)
