I'm with a project, that when you run it in the eclipse, you leave it listening in http://localhost:8080/nombre_del_proyecto/ . What I want is that now run in http://localhost:8080/otro_nombre/ .
Where do you change the name of the app or root URL where the project runs? Because I have 500 .xml that I tried changing and no change is reflected.
You can specify the context path of the Web application for Tomcat through the file context.xml .
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context antiJARLocking="true" path="/otro_nombre"/>
However, eclipse ignores this file and considers the value configured in the project properties. See "Properties for project_name" > "Web Project Settings" > "Context root".
Before Tomcat deploys, eclipse edits the file
server.xml located in, for example, /Servers/Tomcat v7.0 Server at localhost-config/ and add a line similar to:
<Context docBase="nombre_del_proyecto"
path="/otro_nombre"
reloadable="true"
source="org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:nombre_del_proyecto"/>
Once all the files are ready, they are copied to the corresponding folder in the workspace, e.g. workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp1\wtpwebapps .
You must modify in Tomcat the context configuration in the file server.xml if you have not modified it, it should be in [tomcat dir]/config/ , in the you must modify the path attribute by the route you want to place it
<Context docBase="nombre_del_proyecto" path="/otro_nombre" reloadable="true" source="org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:nombre_del_proyecto"/>
