I tried to change the application's path by adding next line to "conf/server.xml":

 <Context path="" docBase="myapp.war" debug="0" reloadable="true"></Context>

Then I restarted tomcat but nothing have changed. I have to use "localhost:8080/myapp/" to use my app. Is it possible to use "localhost:8080/" and that's all?

Did you try ``? Otherwise I think you want to deploy ROOT.war instead of myapp.war. – K.Nicholas Sep 04 '16 at 14:21
Yes. I tried: "", "/", "/foobar". Nothing works. Tomcat doesn't react on that changes at all. – Oleksandr Sep 04 '16 at 14:23

Yes. If I change the name of war to "ROOT.war" it works. But I don't understand why I can't change a path name in conf/server.xml – Oleksandr Sep 04 '16 at 14:26
Thank you very much! It works! – Oleksandr Sep 04 '16 at 14:34
