tomcat to host only my app

[srini carry]

in production I want to tomcat to host only my app is accessible at www.mycompany/artms but when I try www.mycompany I get the default tomcat home page how to disable this ?

I want only my app and no other aps.
Please advice me.

Obviously, your app must take the place of the default in the ROOT directory and you must remove all other directories under webapps.

I still want it to be accessed with /artms not just www.dnsname/artms not just www.dnsname ?

If I place it in root there wont be context root right ?

the ROOT directory is mapped to the context root.

I don't understand this, but it sounds like you want to make the domain name part of the URL be optional. The domain (server) name is not optional. If omitted, it defaults to "localhost".

You can do a client-side redirect from www.mycompany.com to www.mycompany.com/artms

Right - If you want there to only be one web application on your server then "artms" must be the only directory under webapps, right? So remove ROOT, leave artms, and let us know what happens.

Let me amend that: You need to do a client-side redirect from www.mycompany.com to www.mycompany.com/artms. Something like this in your index.html should do the trick (provided index.html is set up as the default file):

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=http://www.mycompany.com/artms">
