In Tomcat 3.2.2 (I know that's the version I'm running - I think its the version of
the source that I checked) the preference for
servlet/webApp is hardwired into the code that generates the automatic config files.
It takes no notice of anything in the server.xml file (which I think is at least a
little unfriendly)
To have the behaviour you requested you'll have to edit those (or actually the files
you derived from those when you first set up
Tomcat) In the case sited for PWS under Win98 it looks like you would have to modify
the file derived from
%TOMCAT_HOME%\conf\uriworkermap.properties-auto
HTH
BTW In my example below it looks like Tomcat is serving my static content. :-(
