tomcat

Hi there. I'm running a Tomcat 6.0.28 at port 8080 in a Debian Squeeze box. I'm a newbie in tomcat.

I would like to change the location of manager and host-manager applications. That is, instead of going to:

http://myserver:8080/manager/html

I would like that to be:

http://myserver:8080/somesubdirectory/manager/html

Is this possible? If yes, how can I achieve this? I would really appreciate any help in this.

I've been trying to change the context of /etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost/manager.xml from /manager to /somesubdirectory/manager with no success. Also I tried to create a symlink under /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT/somesubdirectory/manager with no success.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers.
