Making my servlet the default instead of what's in ROOT
I want http://mylocal.tomcat.machine/ to run my servlet's hello world
(instead of whatever's in ROOT) without having to put the servlet name
in the path, i.e. I want it to be the "front door" for the domain.
Can't make this work, no amount of futzing with Context path= or
docBase= does it.
This is a stupid question but I've been Googling and tweaking for a day
now. Help?

More clues:
We got it to work if you put
<Context path="" docBase="webapps/<our unpacked war file dir>"
in the top-level server.xml file. It does NOT work if you put this
context fragment in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost
the documentation on auto-deployment is frustrating in a couple of
points. My working hypothesis is that Catalina finds and parses the XML
context fragment correctly, but then, when encountering the war file
(or expanded directory) containing WEB-INF/web.xml it generates a new
context automatically. The docs are vague on this, offering a warning
that explicit contexts don't play well with autodeployed apps.
Can anyone offer some insights into this? Is this the intended
behavior?
