Moving apps around.

Hello. I am trying to learn j2ee using Apache Tomcat 5.5.17 under
Windows XP Personal edition. I have the following app which I copied
out of a book:

C:\Program Files\....\webapps\stock

Now, I want to place the "stock" web app in a subdirectory with other
webapps:

C:\Program Files\....\webapps\BookExamples\stock

So I cut and paste the stock directory under BookExamples. Now I use
to type

http://localhost:8080/stock/index.html

I now type

http://localhost:8080/MyApps/stock/index.html

I get the first page up alright, but subsequent links from index.html
do not work. I get "HTTP Status 404 blah blah is not available."

Here's a link from index.html:
<a href="StockList/AnalystForm">See all Analysts</a>


Here's an excerpt from web.xml:

<servlet>
<servlet-name>StockList</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>web.StockListServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>StockList</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>StockList</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>


Now, keep in mind, everything works, if I didn't move the app to a
subdirectory. So what do I need to change to make this app work under
a sub directory? I've tried a bunch of things, and none of them work.
I'm hoping someone here can tell me, or at least tell me it's
impossible.

thanks!

Set the context in the web.xml file
i.e. the root path for the app.
