I've been trying to assist the java application developer by "deploying" his application under Tomcat. What we want to do is get the web-app to work from a totally separate (unix) filesystem, something like "/company/test/project", where this "/company/..." is *the* filesystem. I've searched the web and have been unable to find any examples of deploying an application in this manner - the examples all seem to point to placing it under the "/examples" structure under the tomcat server-root, or under the ROOT structure.

restart Tomcat and go to http://serverName/yourAppsHTMLReference/pageName to see your app.
