ROOT (in uppercase) is not a "folder", but a web application. It behaves like any other web application (You should remember, that web applications are independent of each other). The only difference is that it is mapped to the URL "/". Every host should have a ROOT application. Any requests that cannot be mapped to any other web application will be directed to this one, so that it can show its 404th error page or otherwise process it. (If there is no ROOT application deployed, such requests cannot be processed and will result in a zero-length empty response.) If you have two applications /mywebapp /ROOT then - any request to /myweapp/foo will be processed by mywebapp (and the ROOT one will not see it at all), - any request to /myweapp2/foo will be processed by ROOT (because there is no myweapp2 application to process it).
