If you always wanted to slim down your JSP / Tomcat application path ...
Before:
http://yourdomain:8080/yourApplicationName/(index.jsp)
After:
http://yourdomain/(index.jsp)
1. get rid of yourApplicationName
in /yourTomcatPath/webapps/ there should be a ROOT folder next to yourApplicationName, just copy the content of yourApplicationName into ROOT, of course this only makes sense if you got only one application on your server
2. get rid of the port
install an apache as reverse proxy
clear out everything and insert the following (in nano use Ctrl+k to delete single lines)
Don't ask me for any modifications ... look here for further detail
