Question

I hava a maven project, pom.xml contains tomcat plugin.

Answer 1

Have you tried changing the context path by setting it in the configuration section of the Maven plugin?

FYI: Find the current version of the plugin here

  <plugin>
   <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
   <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
   <version>2.2</version>

    <configuration>
      <path>/</path>
    </configuration>

  </plugin>

Answer 2

I am using tomee and it works for me.

Add the context tag to the pom file as follows:-

<plugin>
 <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
 <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
 <version>2.2</version>
 <configuration>
   ..
   <context>ROOT<context>
   ..
 </configuration>
</plugin>
