Running JSC projects without the /myapp URL appended

Question

I have been searching a long time and I'm stuck.
If I set the Context Path in the Project Properties, Sun App Server uses it no problem. So I thought that clearing it and exporting a WAR file would do the same behavior in Tomcat (so I can use Virtual hosts for every project) but it looks like not.
I just want to avoid having people type http://<site URL>/myapp if I create a project called myapp. I want to be able to use only http://<site URL>.
I kinda sort it out by exporting my .war file to tomcat's webapps directory and create a Virtual host that points to webapps/myapp. That works except when I use JDBC where the path of its Context cannot be empty or set to path="/"
I'm still learning JSC, Tomcat setup and Java for that matter but I hope someone has a hint on how to avoid appending the project name to the URL.
Thanks,
Benoit

Answer 1

You should have a look at the Sun Application Server Admin Guide. Setting up a virtual host for it is something like to:
1. Deploy your web module.
2. Create a virtual server, with your web module as the default module.
3. Create a HTTP listener on an arbitrary port (ex. 8081) with a default virtual server as defined in 2.
Then you will be able to access http://yourvirtualserver:8081 without an specific context path.
Hope this helps.
