If we place a war file inside webapps folder of tomcat then it deploys it when we start the server, but it is not the case when we place the war file inside a sub folder of webapps. Is there any way by which we can achieve this deployment process within sub directory of webapps?

While using autodeploy, if you want your application to be accessed at server.com/path/app, you can achieve this by naming your war file to "path#app.war" before placing it into webapps directory. During autodeploy, a directory named "path#app" will be created under "${CATALINA_HOME}/webapps/" and your application will be accessible at the desired URL path.

You can also choose to leave it where it is and instruct the reverse proxy in front of Tomcat to do the relocation, using ProxyPass /path/app http://tomcat-server/app ProxyPassReverse /path/app http://tomcat-server/app rules if the reverse proxy is Apache HTTPD. ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse reference is available here.

We can change the war deployment path(application base directory) in TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml.

<Host name="localhost"  appBase="webapps\your_directory"
        unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
