Configuring a Tomcat subsite

I have zero knowledge about Tomcat and I only need to have it working for some testing, so please forgive me if the questions is stupid.

I deployed a .war archive in Tomcat 7.0.22 (Java 1.6, MacOS Lion). The war is called "myapp.war" and so Tomcat is serving http://localhost/myapp (having expanded the war in /webapps/myapp). I'm fine with this.

Whenever I visit "http://localhost/myapp" the page won't load static files (eg: for either /core.css or core.css it looks for "http://localhost/core.css") while "http://localhost/myapp/" ( <-- note the slash!) works and serves http://localhost/myapp/core.css.

My web.xml:

<web-app>
  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>org.github.pistacchio.deviantchecker.core/app servlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.github.pistacchio.deviantchecker.servlet</servlet-class>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>org.github.pistacchio.deviantchecker.core/app servlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

How to set this up properly? Thank you

If you only need it working for testing purposes the easiest solution might be to add a base html tag to the head of your webpage.

<base href="http://localhost/myapp/" /> should do the trick.

See this link for further explanation of the base tag
