title: Change tomcat base URL
body: <p>I have a front facing lighttpd server on my domain that redirects a specific URL to a tomcat 8 application server. So, traffic to mydomain.com/app will be pushed to tomcat.</p>
  
  <p>Tomcat, however, sees the "app" portion of the url and tries to match it when serving requests from the default webapp directory location - resulting in 404's for everything. Is there a configuration change I can make to tomcat so that it knows to look that default webapp directory for requests that come from "/app"?</p>
  
  <p>For example, I'd like to access my web application at mydomain.com/app/mywebapp  -  tomcat should still look for the application at /usr/lib/tomcat8/webapps/mywebapp.</p>
