To access my jsp's in tomcat, url is http://locatlhost:port/appName/jsp/home.jsp
but i don't want to see appName/jsp in the above url without changing the name of the folder(jsp in appName.war) in war file.

Is there anyway i can specify in the web.xml saying all request starts with http://localhost:port/ to redirect / refer to jsp.
ie
if i type http://locatlhost:port/ it should call internally http://locatlhost:port/appName/jsp/home.jsp

Thanks in advance.

You can write a servlet which gets called for one sort of requests [like yourdomain/app/somename] and forward those requests to desired targets [like domain/app/jsp/xyz.jsp].

If you are talking just about home page then you can configure it in your web.xml's <welcome-file-list> tag. You can also create servlet mapping for a jsp page like
<servlet>
   <servlet-name></servlet-name>
   <jsp-file></jsp-file>
</servelt>

and the mapping using <servlet-mapping>
