Question

i am working with some other people on a Spring MVC web application. If i run the application it uses the URL http://localhost:8080/mywebapp but if others run it, the application uses the URL http://localhost:8080/x.

Is there any configuration i could do to let the application run on a specific URL?

Answer 1

its defined in server.xml within tomcat :
 

<Context docBase="yourSource" path="/yourPath" ...

If using war files, the name of the war file itself (you can just right click an rename), which if using maven is set in the pom :

<build><finalname>blahblah
