Not true.  Use of docBase is quite appropriate when the webapp is placed
outside of the <Host> appBase directory, as appears to be the case here.

That comment is correct.  The name of the .xml file defines the URI
path.

If you mean have appBase point to the project folder, that won't work
(the appBase must not be the same as a docBase).  If you mean have
appBase point to one level above the project folder, that will work for
this one webapp, but it will break access to the other Tomcat webapps,
such as docs and the two examples apps.  

The missing step (besides the invalid path attribute) is probably
failing to remove webapps/ROOT.
