You can also simply edit the server.xml file of Tomcat, and add a new Connector node with this configuration:

<Connector port="80" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" />

This will allow you access the application as . If you would like to drop the AppName part, you can publish the application as a ROOT application.

For a website though, it is a good idea to use an Apache or an nginx server as a reverse proxy to Tomcat, and also use them for serving static content.

In this case, you do not need to use the software as a ROOT application, as you can proxy that part of the URL too.

Please rename your .war file to ROOT.war and restart the server

You could use an Apache proxy configuration, so Apache proxies everything on to your Tomcat App.

Something like this in Apache:

<VirtualHost :80>
Servername
ProxyPass/
ProxyPassReverse /
</VirtualHost>

Of course you may need to enable proxy in Apache first and do basic configuration for Apache
