Hello Brian, using the docBase=ROOT as ur webapp is unadvisable. learn to 
create/deploy ur on webapps through an expanded .war. u have a packaging and 
deployment problem easily rectified using the ant build system. see the tc 
/examples webapp ant build.xml to see how the tc gurus get all the doco and 
demos to work "out-of-the-box". hope this helps, david.
