hello, I've been trying to deploy an application to Tomcat 6.0.18. I would
like to make it my default ROOT app (without renaming the app to ROOT), so

Renaming the WAR to ROOT.war is the simplest but if you really don't
want to do that then you have the following options:
1. Place your WAR outside of CATALINA_BASE/webapps. It must be outside
to prevent double deployment. Place context file named ROOT.xml in
CATALINA_BASE/conf/<engine name>/<host name> that has a docBase element
that points to your WAR.
2. Leave your WAR in CATALINA_BASE/webapps. Turn off autoDeploy *and*
deployOnStartup in your Host element in server.xml. Explicitly define
*all* Contexts in server.xml, specifying both path and docBase. You must
define your Contexts in server.xml as this option disables all the
auto-deploy mechanisms.
Should I add #1 and #2 to the FAQ-HowTo #38, or is it better to leave it
as it is now (only mentioning the simple option 0) ?
It seems to me that option #2 above is looking for trouble, no ?
(at least on this forum)
