As I read the context docs (
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html ), the only way to
define a default web application is via a context element in the server.xml
file. Is this true? So, this means that it is IMPOSSIBLE to drop a default
web app WAR into the webapps
to drop a default
web app WAR into the webapps folder, correct?
If I'm not mistaken (which is definitely possible), if you name it
ROOT.war, it will also become the default context.

I am using tomcat 5.5.20 and attempting to set up a default context
without placing the context tag inside of the server.xml file. I
created the ROOT.xml file under Tomcat Home Dir/conf/engine/host/
and placed this tag into the file:
Context docBase=mywebapp/
This resulted in no change
didn't know it was possibleto set up a default context outside of the
server.xml file.
I thought Tomcat required that.

There seems to be some conflict between different sections

it's not possible to specify a default virtual host's context
to capture this specific naming requirement for
specifying the defining the host's default context (aka webapp).

It also worked for me:
- putting context.xml to webpass/YOUR_WEPAPP/META-INF
- pack your web-app as ROOT.war
- deploy it
Tomcat will copy your context.xml from META-INF to
