Url of web aplpication

[jacob deiter]

I came across a web application ,It name is “sample” and deployed in tomcat server.
But the URl used to access the index page is http://localhost:8080/abc/.

As per my understanding the URl should be Http://localhost:8080/sample/

Check the URL mapping available in web.xml

Or Share the web.xml snippet of the application.

<servlet-name>
GenericServlet
</servlet-name>

<servlet-class>
com.GenericServlet
</servlet-class>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>GenericServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/GenericServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

you can see the directory under %Tomcat_home%/webapps/
what's name of your application program's directory.
I think the directory's name is access url.

What's in your web.xml has no bearing on the context path of the application. How the context is defied within Tomcat is what will determine the path.

Moved to the Tomcat forum.
