Thanks for taking the time and helping me with my issue and also for
reviewing the server and context xml that was provided to me.
Your analysis indicates there are many issues that would require
attention by their systems staff. I will discuss your findings with
them though my impression is that since they are on the other side of
the world (someplace in India) that any solution my be a while getting
here. But you never know.
The main office & hardware is someplace in Chicago so I assume they are
farming out, most, if not all, their support completely offshore.
Anyway, I'm going to address this with them and see where it leads and
go from there.
I'll also play around with this more using some of your suggestions and
see where it gets me. It can't hurt.
I will also, most likely, change my service provider. So, if you know
of a good provider please let me know.
Again, thanks for all your help. I'll let you know how things work out.

This is the old school and somewhat discouraged way of doing things,
It's much worse than that - it's completely illegal. The appBase and docBase
settings must *never* be the same; erratic and unpredictable behavior is
guaranteed. There's no point in proceeding until that's straightened out.
I would strongly recommend that you keep the<Context> elements outside of
server.xml. Leave the appBase as you have it, but install your webapp in
/home/XXXXX/public_html/ROOT. Place the<Context> element in
/home/XXXXX/public_html/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml, but leave out the path, docBase, and
debug attributes (they're all illegal or ignored).
Your web.xml should be placed in /home/XXXXX/public_html/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml.
<Context path="/manager" debug="0" privileged="true"
docBase="/usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/server/webapps/manager">
</Context>
Again, the debug attribute hasn't been used for many years, so it has no business
being there. The proper place for the above<Context> element is in Tomcat's
conf/Catalina/XXXXX.com/manager.xml file, without the path attribute, but /with/ the
docBase, since it's not under the appBase directory.
