Hi Steve - Many people have tried and tried and tried to help you get started developing with Tomcat over the past several months. Please understand that it can be as frustrating for us as it is for you when many of us try our best to help you only to find that it hasn't worked for whatever reason.
That said, you do not need to modify the path of the ROOT Context in server.xml. Just stick your JSP page in that directory and call it. For example, if Tomcat is installed in c:\tomcat, then you would put your JSP in c:\tomcat\webapps\ROOT.
