Question

I want to link a folder to custom url.

For example, I have a folder: C:\testFolder

I want this: when you type http:\\localhost:8080\myFolder tomcat actually shows testFolder.

Is that possible?

Thank you

Edit server.xml located under TOMCAT_HOME/conf

It contains tag like:

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

change the value of appBase to C:/testFolder

Pay attention on the slash I used. Use forward slash although you are on Windows.
