Synopsis: 
docbase changed in server.xml by itself

Description:
We have deployed an application using Apache/Tomcat combo. Modified server.xml's contextpath "" entry to make our application the default page (e.g. when they type just http://localshost). Application was working fine. Stopped working 15 minutes prior to a big demo. The error message was a classis "page not found" error from Apache. After pulling half of the hair out, at someone's insistance checked the server.xml and the docbase for the "" context path had gone back to the tomcat's shipping default values.
What gives?
