Modifying home page of tomcat server while using servlets in java

Question

Hi I'm using Eclipse Luna and Apache-Tomcat server 8.0.15.

When I run a servlet program in the web browser the path of the servlet has to mentioned.

For Example: http://localhost:8080/DemoServletPrj/DemoServlet

Is it possible that by just typing http://localhost:8080 I can see my servlet running in the browser?

If so how do i go about it?

This is answered already here.

Just find your web.xml in your site folder and change the root path;

<servlet-mapping>
  ..
  <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
