Dwayne- ROOT war files .war files with the name ROOT.war are given special treatment during deployment, when Tomcat detects and deploys the ROOT.war file instead of creating a web application mapped to (/warname).war it maps it to the root url (http://yourdomain.com/). However, because the root context is preconfigured within the server.xml above deploying a ROOT.war file will have no affect because a root context already exists. To deploy ROOT.war files, stop Tomcat, remove the root <context> and restart Tomcat.
