Deploy war on Tomcat without the war name in the URL

Here are two possible method:

Rename your war to ROOT.war
No need to rename. Go to CATALINA_BASE/conf/server.xml Find Host element and set autoDeploy="false" deployOnStartup="false" then add <Context path="" docBase="your_project_name"/> in the end like:

expamle#2:

  <Host name="localhost"  appBase="webapps"
        unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="false" deployOnStartup="false"> 

    <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs"
           prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".txt"
           pattern="%h %l %u %t &quot;%r&quot; %s %b" />
    <Context path="" docBase="your_project_name"/><!--Add this-->
  </Host>

All you need to do is name your war ROOT.war.
