Context path for tomcat deployed web application

I have deployed web application on tomcat7 and now I am looking forward to update Virtual host to map domain name with my application by updating server.xml. Is my approach correct? I am working on ubuntu OS and not sure how to get the context path for my web app. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The context path of your application will be the name of the war file. If you want to override it, you can follow Tomcat's documentation (https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html).

Edit the server.xml in the conf folder of the tomcat installation and make the following changes.

<Host name="localhost"  appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">

<Context path="/yoururl" docBase="YourApp" useHttpOnly="false">
<Manager pathname="" />
</Context>

</Host>
