Tomcat config question

Long shot posting here, but...

I have a webapp that's accessed via http://localhost:8080/webappname/?stuff=whatever . I want to change it so this thing works by using http://localhost:8080/webappname?stuff=whatever . The difference between the two URLs is the trailing slash after "webappname". If you make the 2nd request, Tomcat will give you a 302 to the first one. I want it not to do this, I just want the app to be served without the /. I know this seems like a stupidly anal problem, but it's for backward compatibility reasons. Anybody got a clue? I'm a nub when it comes to Tomcat.

Isn't Tomcat just apache? Sorry, I don't know much about it at all. I disabled it on my VPS.

Update:

Maybe you're screwed.
