Why does the default OpenCms url contain /opencms/opencms/?

The first /opencms/ is the folder of your OpenCms installation in the webapps folder of your servlet container (tomcat,jboss,etc.). The second is a servlet mapping to the main OpenCms servlet which handles the requests. You can install OpenCms as root-application of you servlet container to get rid of the first /opencms/. During the installation process you can rename the servlet mapping (for example to cms) to short the second /opencms/.Alternatively there is a guide how to get rid of /opencms/opencms/ shipped with the alcacon documentation.
