title: Tomcat - making a project folder the web root
body: <p>I have this folder under Tomcat <code>webapps/mysite</code> which is where all my JSPs and other things are located. To access this folder I go to <a href="http://blah.com/mysite" rel="noreferrer">http://blah.com/mysite</a> and it works just fine. However (because of stylesheets and images statically connected to the root <code>/</code>) I have to make it so that when I go to <a href="http://blah.com/" rel="noreferrer">http://blah.com/</a> it will load the stuff inside <code>webapps/mysite</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried many different things including contexts and setting the absolute path in <code>server.xml</code>... nothing seems to work, whenever I go to <a href="http://blah.com/" rel="noreferrer">http://blah.com/</a> it still tries to load the ROOT folder... what's happening here?</p>
