Description

Currently settings in url.properties (content.url.prefix.secure and content.url.prefix.standard) allow to change url prefix for static content. Similar feature for mounting all webapps at a mount point different from root would be very useful. Especially it would help having multiple ofbiz instances under one domain name (e.g. www.host.com/client2 and www.host.com/client2), which is very useful to run several instances using one SSL certificate.
Workaround is of course to change mount points in all components by hand, but it is not very practical if url is to be changed frequently.

I suggest adding to url.properties 2 settings - webapp.url.prefix.standard and webapp.url.prefix.secure.

This is not exact patch, just to give a quick idea of change necessary.
