tomcat Context != httpd VirtualHost

[Brian Quade]

I am trying to set up tomcat with apache so that I can just type 
http://www.mysite.net to see my web site, but when I type that I just 
get the default Apache page that says I set up Apache correctly.  The 
only way I can my web site is if I type http://www.mysite.net/myapp, 
where myapp is the directory where my web application is installed 
(web.xml, WEB-INF, etc.).  Here are the configurations I have tried in 
server.xml.

<Host name="www.mysite.net" appBase="webapps" ... >
   <Context path="/myapp" docBase="myapp" ... />
</Host>
*** I see my site with http://www.mysite.net/myapp, but not with 
http://www.mysite.net

<Host name="www.mysite.net" appBase="webapps" ... >
   <Context path="" docBase="myapp" ... />
</Host>
*** Same result as above.
*** Setting path="" is supposed to make this the default Context for the 
Host.

<Host name="www.mysite.net" appBase="webapps" ... >
   <Context path="" docBase="ROOT" ... />
</Host>
*** Didn't move any files into ROOT but I get the same result as above.
<Host name="www.mysite.net" appBase="webapps" ... >
   <Context path="" docBase="ROOT" ... />
</Host>
*** Moved all my files into ROOT I can't see my site at all.
<Host name="www.mysite.net" appBase="webapps/myapp" ... >
   <Context path="" docBase="" ... />
</Host>
*** Can't see my site at all.
Tomcat automatically creates mod_jk.conf which contains all of the 
tomcat virtual hosts and information from settings in server.xml.  So I 
would think that the problem is some setting in server.xml.  Since I can 
see my site by appending the directory to the end of the web address, I 
know that I am close to having is set up right.  But I need to set it up 
so that it is the default (or root) web application and does not require 
any subdirectory at the end.

What I am trying to do should be the most basic thing that people use 
tomcat and apache for, but I have searched and searched and searched and 
searched and can not find any documentation that tells me to do anything 
other than what I have already tried.  I have found a few email messages 
from people asking the same question but no one can ever answer it.  Is 
this even possible at all?  I have wasted 2 whole days on this already.  
If anyone knows how to do this, please please please post the answer.
