how can i change the host name to a userdefined name.
i am hosting a java application which i build using servlet and jsp.
i am using apache-tomcat-7.0.29 and jdk 7.
to acess my application i have to type HTTP:\\10.226.236.12:8080\\EmergencyImagePush\Firstpage.jsp.
Now what i want to do is that to acess the the same application by the name http:\\Image and it should give me the first page.
can you help.
Well first of all you need to get a domain and point to your IP address. Then you need to bust open your sevlet configuration and map your '.../Firstpage.jsp' to '/'
No i am hosting this application in intranet for internal use only so i do not need a domain.
I am already hosting it from my system and people in the network can acess it but they have to type--
http://10.226.15.46:8080/EmergencyIm.../FirstPage.jsp but i want the address to be http://Image or something short and hence it will be easy for the people in the network to acess it in one shot.
This isn't a tomcat config issue it's a domain name issue. You need to add the domain name to IP address mapping to each user's computer's host file. On windows systems it can found at:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
(assuming you installed windows on the C drive)
