How to set the context path of a web application in Tomcat 7.0

Question

I know that I can rename my webapp (or it\'s WAR file) to ROOT but this is a terrible way to do it, IMHO. Now I checked out the tomcat doc & it says

Answer 1

Tomcat 8 : After many searches this is only working code: in server.xml

    
     
         
         WEB-INF/web.xml
     
    

Restart Tomcat, make sure when you access 127.0.0.1:8080, it will display the content in 127.0.0.1:8080/apple

My project was java web application witch created by netbeans ,I set context path in project configuration, no other thing, even I put apple.war in webapps folder.
