Answer 1

Rename your war file to ROOT.war, to access it via yourhost.com rather than yourhost.com/nameOfWar.

Also, especially in a local environment, set the path variable to "/" in your server.xml. In eclipse, you will probably have a "Servers" project folder, where you can simply edit the server.xml of the specific tomcat server.

<Context docBase="YourApp" path="/" reloadable="true"
                    source="org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:YourApp" />
