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

The below trick worked for me.

1) Comment/delete the below configuration from server.xml file (inside conf folder) of tomcat.

2) Delete the existing ROOT folder (If any) residing inside tomcat webapps folder. And rename your war (e.g: test.war ) file to ROOT.war.

Remember that while renaming war file to ROOT.war "ROOT" should be in caps.

Limitation: You can deploy only one application inside one tomcat instance.
