You can use the rewrite Valve.
myapp/
app/index.html
META-INF/context.xml <-- add
WEB_INF/
rewrite.config <-- add
web.xml
context.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Context>
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.rewrite.RewriteValve"/>
</Context>
rewrite.config:
RewriteRule ^/index.html /app/index.html
RewriteRule ^/$ /app/index.html

I created a minimal webapp that works. Note that you should remove `index.jsp` from your app root. – xiaofeng.li Jan 07 '15 at 12:50

Well...you should access localhost:8080/myapp/index.html – xiaofeng.li Jan 07 '15 at 13:00

Or you could run your app in the root context of tomcat:

The obvious solution to that problem, to copy the web resources to the webapp root folder, is not acceptable I guess? Why are they in an 'app' subfolder? To maintain an easier to manage hierarchy for development perhaps? – Gimby Jan 07 '15 at 13:10
