1/ "root directory" and "document root" are terms that don't 100% apply
in the J2EE world. Use the term "context path," because a webapp
(context) may exist in a directory or inside a WAR file.
So, the context path defaults to one of
{value of "appBase"}/{context dir}
{value of "appBase"}/{WAR file}
where the value of "appBase" defaults to {Tomcat install}/webapps.
2/ $CATALINA_HOME and $CATALINA_BASE are not the root/context/whatever
path for your application.
