I have three websites but I can work with one website at a time to put it in ROOT.

Can I view three different websites with tomcat without copy pasting them in ROOT?

Thanks & best regards

I wouldn't put anything into ROOT. Why don't you keep the three sites in 3 (non-ROOT) subdirectories of the webapps directory; all 3 can run in parallel that way. The URL would be http://localhost:8080/myApp1/ instead of http://localhost:8080/ in that case, but all links should work the same, assuming you're using relative links.

You can run multiple web applications simultatiously by adding them to their own context like so:

%CATALINA_HOME%/webapps/webapp1
%CATALINA_HOME%/webapps/webapp2
%CATALINA_HOME%/webapps/webapp3
etc.

Where webappN would contain the typical web application directory structure. Or by just adding web application archives (.WAR) to %CATALINA_HOME%/webapps/ and having Tomcat explode them for you during deployment. Why would you want to add your web application files to the ROOT context?

Edit: Aw, too slow. Ulf beat me to it

In order for Tomcat to see a folder (under webapps) as an application, that folder must have a WEB-INF folder inside it.

tomcat/webapps/aa/WEB-INF

Ok, a very simple example:

1. Create a folder called helloworld in %CATALINA_HOME%/webapps, where %CATALINA_HOME% is the Tomcat installation folder.

2. Create a new plain text file with the following contents:


3. Save this file as index.html in %CATALINA_HOME%/webapps/helloworld

4. Start Tomcat (if not running).

5. Start a webbrowser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/helloworld (assuming localhost is the listen adress and 8080 is the listen port).

You should see the hello world message.

Its mean that when I'll use the path of other file then I have to follow the path of this folder e.g. aa==>>index.html, company folder===>>profile.html like this /aa/company/profile.html whereas I was using in ROOT just: /company/profile.html

right?

Thanks & best regards

Again, Tomcat (in versions up to 5.5 anyway) won't recognize a folder as a web application unless it contains a WEB-INF folder.

It's fairly reasonable to assume that somebody just starting to learn about Tomcat downloaded a recent version to do so, and I didn't want to complicate things unnecessarily.

You should probably use a relative URL in that link (one that doesn't start with a slash).
