Chris, Your suggestion worked! Simply renaming my app to ROOT and getting rid of the stuff I added to server.xml proved to be a better strategy.
I now have it working as desired with the following context.xml, deployed with my app in ROOT.war <Context path="" docBase="ROOT" etc.> </Context> (Note: the "etc." refers to the other attributes that are particular to my app and aren't relevant to this thread). Thanks!
