You have to create a Tomcat Context.

In order to do so, open TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml and add a Context that will point to the war file location. For example:

<Context path="/MyApplication" docBase="/mytestdir/mywebapp.WAR" reloadable="false" />

Then, restart your Tomcat instance and you're done.

This is a possible solution, too. :) – Konstantin Yovkov Oct 28 '11 at 11:59

You should change your config.xml Smth, like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <Context path="/mywebapp"  docBase="/mytestdir/mywebapp.WAR">

see docBase attribute
