I know two ways to define a default context in Tomcat: - a Context that has an empty PATH attribute will become the default web application for the virtual host. This definitely works on Tomcat 5.5 - DefaultContext element in the Host is the other way to define a default context, but this may work only on Tomcat 5.0

In the short term you can try putting a simple ROOT app that just redirects to your app .
