1) if you are using eclipse to run the application then change the context root from the project "Properties --> Web Project Settings --> Context Root".

2) if you are deploying your app to a server (say tomcat)rename your war file to the context root you desire.

  • you don't need any changes in servlet.After changing the context root in project properties you have to remove your web application from Tomcat (using Add and Remove... on the context menu of the server), redeploy, then re-add your application and redeploy refer this link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2437465/java-how-to-change-context-root-of-a-dynamic-web-project-in-eclipse – KDP Jun 29 '15 at 09:14
