I'm aware of the context container reference doc and the following wiki
page:
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/HowTo#How_do_I_make_my_web_application_be_the_Tomcat_default_application.3F

I raised this request because whatever approach I choose I've find a hint
in the documentation which doesn't recommend to do so.

First, I don't like to rename my web application into ROOT.war or copy the
content into the ROOT directory. I very much like the approach to define
context information in META-INF/context.xml or conf/Catalina/localhost.
It's not best practise to define context information in server.xml which I
fully support also.

Method 2.1 and 2.2 are kind of hacky.

I'd very much like to be able to deploy my war in webapps and configure
either the path in META-INF/context.xml to "/" or define docBase in
conf/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml.

Wouldn't that make sense?

Thanks
Oliver

docBase and path attributes are invalid here

> Have I missed anything?

1) FAQ
2) search mailing list archives
3) See docs for Context element in Configuration reference.
