Re: tomcat ROOT
Hi Markus, did you ever figure this out? I was looking in the archives of the tomcat mailing list and saw your query but it didn't seem to me that anyone answered it fully, at least not for me.
I figured out that I could remove/rename the webapps/ROOT directory and deploy my war file as ROOT.war and then it would replace tomcat's web page at http://www.myhost.edu/ but I also have apache in front of tomcat and I don't understand how to set up the jkmount in my httpd.conf file to map apache's root to tomcat's root.

Not naive at all; I think it's an entirely relevant and obvious question.
In my situation we have a system that's administered by a different
group than mine (we're merely application programmers) and the system
administrators have settled on doing things this way. They're
understaffed and overworked so having a common setup for everyone on
this shared system seems reasonable to me.

My naive question then would be : why keep Apache in front of Tomcat, if
you are redirecting/proxying everything anyway ?

Yes renaming a webapp to ROOT with a empty context path, makes it run as the
root...
Then...
JkMount / worker1
Should make apache send it to your tomcat root
