Hello,

I would like to be able to make the site come up under localhost instead of localhost/defaultsite/

Thank you,
Alex

This is for a dynamic web project in Eclipse that is being exported as WAR and deployed on Tomcat.

Such questions should be posed in the IDEs forum. I have moved this there for you.

With the sysdeo plugin you don't even need to build deploy!!!

I prefer not to use additional plug ins, from my understanding wither web.xml or server.xml file needs to be updated, but not sure with what?

Actually I would think this would be a Tomcat question, as the method of using the 'default' directory with a deployment is dependant on which server you are using.

The relevant page in the Tomcat docs

For Tomcat I think the best approach is to add a context.xml file to the META-INF directory of your war file.
Within this file you define the context, and give it a path="".
