Deploy application at ROOT(/) context in Tomcat

Tomcat has its own application with the name "ROOT" that is runing in the main root (/) context path, So when ever you install new tomcat and try to accesss http://localhost:8080/ then it will show you the default tomcat home page,


If you want to deploy you application at  http://localhost:8080/  then there is two way to do this

1. ROOT.war : Create your application war file with the name ROOT.war and place it in the [TOMCAT_HOME]/webapps/ directory and restart tomcat services

2. Server.xml : If you can't change the war file name then in server.xml file there is one context tag  that is use to map your application on any context

  • Remove the ROOT folder directory from [TOMCAT_HOME]/webapps/
  • Copy your application war file into the same directory , let suppose your application war file name is "app.war".
  • Edit the server.xml file located at [TOMCAT_HOME]/conf/server.xml, and add the context tag
    <Context path="/" docBase="app" reloadable="true"></Context>
docBase : Your application war file name
path : Context path at which you want to map your application , here I am using "\" that mean I am mapping your application at root context

Change Tomcat JSESSION Cookie Name and Path

Sometime we have a scenario that two different tomcat application running on same domain,  and you want to share a session cookie in between them, there are two problem will come in this scenario i.e: 1. Session Cookie Name : As both the application have same cookie name i.e JSESSIONID , so its difficult to know which JSESSIONID belongs to which application , so in this scenario we need to change the Session cookie name. 2. Cookie Path :  By default tomcat create a session cookie for the app context, due to which we can't share the cookies between two application , so we need to change the cookie path from  context to the root. For doing the above point we can use  ServletContextListener or   web.xml file. 1. ServletContextListener import javax.servlet.SessionCookieConfig; import javax.servlet.ServletContextEvent; import javax.servlet.ServletContextListener; public class MyTestListener implements ServletContextListener  {     public void contextInit
