I am not sure why you had a blank (empty) webapps directory - possibly because you chose to download a version of tomcat4.0 which has no examples included...
I have done nothing at all to the web.xml. There was abs nothing wrong with your TC installation - except that it required an application to see if it works. I extracted the root folder from TC4.1.30 and gave it to u. The web.xml is the default delivered one for the root app. hope you have a wonderful project.
