Thanks. I renamed my stand-alone context definition conf/[engine]/[host]/ROOT.xml and it worked. FYI...I've asked the developer list about the possibility of respecting the empty string path attribute value regardless of where the context is defined and/or update the documentation to capture this specific naming requirement for specifying the defining the host's default context (aka webapp).

The doc is a bit obtuse in this area, since it wasn't fully revised from previous levels. To specify the default app, you must first delete the existing webapps/ROOT directory, then install your app in webapps/ROOT (or webapps/ROOT.war) or put your <Context> element in conf/[engine]/[host]/ROOT.xml. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
