Thanks Chuck for your point. Now when i renamed my war to ROOT.war and drop it in webapps folder (without any context in server.xml), it deploys fine for the first time as the root app (Creates a ROOT folder in webapps), but if i make any change to any of my jsps and drop the new ROOT.war file, it does not pick the changes.
Do i have to manually delete the ROOT folder that tomcat creates, everytime before the fresh deployment? Im trying different ways to understand what tomcat really is doing. Please explain this as i have been through enough confusion already about whats going on. Again, this is Tomcat 6.0.32, jdk 1.5, windows 7 OS.

Simply rename it and be done. Using the horribly outdated and restrictive mechanism of placing <Context> elements in server.xml comes from the dark ages; don't go there. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
