default context

[Ch...@emc.com]

As I read the context docs ( http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html ), the only way to define a default web application is via a context element in the server.xml file.  Is this true?  So, this means that it is IMPOSSIBLE to drop a default web app WAR into the webapps folder, correct?

Quite true. Even a neophyte like me is aware of that. ;-p

(And there's a lot more about Tomcat that I *don't* know, than there is 
that I *do* -- it was just this month that I learned, for example, that 
on an AS/400, you not only need Java 6 for Tomcat 7, you need a specific 
Java 6, and also that you can set up the environment variables from the 
CL program that launches Tomcat, rather than having to mess with 
startup.sh or catalina.sh, or create a setenv.sh.)

If I'm not mistaken (which is definitely possible), if you name it 
ROOT.war, it will also become the default context.
