Is there anyway of configuring tomcat to point more than one context at a webapp?
I need to point these two urls:
http://server.com/abc
http://server.com/def
to a webapp running under the context abc.

A:
If your requirement is for a production app, I would recommend having an Apache Web Server before the tomcat so that you can do this and more.

Thanks, but unfortunately this isn't a possibility for us.

Have you checked Virtual Hosting with Tomcat : http://www.ex-parrot.com/pete/tomcat-vhost.html

That looks promising... Can you give me an example usage with my scenario? It looks more like many urls to many contexts to me :s

A:
Tomcat does not allow direct configuring of multiple <Context> elements to point to the same path.
So your options are either deploying the same web app twice with different Context (Not great idea)
or create a webapp called def that has one custom servlet filter declared in the web.xml that re-writes all requests to abc.
