You have a couple of options:
-
Remove the out-of-the-box
ROOT/
directory from tomcat and rename your war file toROOT.war
before deploying it. -
Deploy your war as (from your example)
war_name.war
and configure the context root inconf/server.xml
to use your war file :<Context path="" docBase="war_name" debug="0" reloadable="true"></Context>
The first one is easier, but a little more kludgy. The second one is probably the more elegant way to do it.
