tomcat root context

[Scott Eade]

The server.xml provided with tomcat 4.01 includes:

        <!-- Tomcat Root Context -->
        <!--
          <Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"/>
        -->

and yet the files in webapps/ROOT are server up when the url
http://localhost:8080 is used regardless of the fact that the Context
element above is commented out.

Does this mean that "ROOT" has special significance and it is
hardcoded somewhere or am I missing something in a config
file that instructs tomcat to use this as the default context?

Thanks,

Scott
