Hi Neal, In the default install of Tomcat if you use the "http://www.themenu.co.za"; you get the Tomcat splash page. That is the root context and the web app for it is located in CATALINA_HOME/webapps/root with the default page set to index.jsp.
Just modify index.jsp to run your web app. If you still want to access the administrative stuff in the root context, modify index.jsp to look for an argument in the URL. If there is none, divert to your app, if there is show the root context page. Or setup an alternate jsp in the root context and call it explicitly. Hope this helps!
