A context path in Apache Tomcat refers to the name of the website as presented by the browser. For example, imagine I tell you to enter
“localhost:8080/DemoWebsite/DateJSP.jsp” in your browser. The context path is “DemoWebsite”. The term “context” in Tomcat is in fact synonymous with “website”. The default context path can be specified if we provide a context file to Tomcat that is given the same name as the website. In this topic, you will learn how to accomplish this important task.
