How can I configure tomcat to take all requests from some applications and use another one as fallback for root.

Example: app1.war, app2.war, app3.war

I want to use app1 for all requests to /app1/, for app2 to use /app2/ and all others requests to be sent to app3.

Update: let's say that adding an Apache before Tomcat is not an option.

Keep the names as they are and only rename app3 to ROOT.war and there you go

app1.war, app2.war, app3.war (Rename to ROOT.war)

Put Apache HTTP server in front of your Tomcat and use simple mod_rewrite rule.

You might also try to experiment with renaming app3.war to ROOT.war (it will be available in root / context)
