Deploying to ROOT problem

[Andrew Watters <an...@gointernet.co.uk>]

I'm using the deployer via an ant task to deploy my application. I am 
using deployer 5.0.18 on windows and deploying to tomcat 5.0.18 on both 
windows and linux.  The following works fine

    <deploy url="${server.url}/manager"
            username="${deployer.username}"
            password="${deployer.password}"
            path="/${web.app}"
            war="${dist}/${web.app}.war"
            update="true" />

I also need to deploy to root. I have tried both

    <deploy url="${server.url}/manager"
            username="${deployer.username}"
            password="${deployer.password}"
            path="/"
            war="${dist}/${web.app}.war"
            update="true" />

and

    <deploy url="${server.url}/manager"
            username="${deployer.username}"
            password="${deployer.password}"
            path="/ROOT"
            war="${dist}/${web.app}.war"
            update="true" />

The first option completes successfully but I can see no evidence of my 
application being unpacked; browsing to '/' doesn't show my application. 
The second option also completes successfully and this time I see the 
application unpacked under webapps/ROOT; browsing to '/' doesn't help 
but browsing to '/ROOT/' shows that my appplication is there.

Does anybody know how to deploy to root using the deployer please? Any 
help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Andrew
