Is it possible for me to start my web application from somewhere else than the ROOT folder in tomcat? I’ve build my app in eclipse, and this is the structure

web
    WEB-INF
        build
            mypackage 
                HomeServlet.class
        web.xml 
    home.jsp

would it be possible for me to just run tomcat from the tomcat folder, and have this app run at localhost/app?

NOTE: I’m not looking to run tomcat through my IDE. I know that it’s possible, but I looking to run tomcat as a standalone application

    Add the path to your web.xml like this

    <Context path="/" docBase="/your/absolute/document/root" />
