title: How do I run my servelt without a context path (Jetty)
body: <p>My Servlet mapping looks like:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;servlet-mapping&gt;
    &lt;servlet-name&gt;myservlet&lt;/servlet-name&gt;
    &lt;url-pattern&gt;/*&lt;/url-pattern&gt;
  &lt;/servlet-mapping&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So my Servlet responds to requests such as <code>http://bla.com/myservlet/bla/bla/bla</code></p>
  
  <p>How can I make it respond to <code>http://bla.com/bla/bla/bla</code> and get rid of the <code>myservlet</code> portion of the path.</p>
  
  <p>Further I want to strip the hello world servlet the the default welcome files that come with Jetty.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
  
  <p>Note:</p>

  <li>I know how to do this using <code>mod_rewrite</code> / <strong>Apache</strong> -- I'm looking for a different solution.</li>
