it was suggested I do that because we did not want the default tomcat web page to come up. We wanted to just go to the IP address and have archiva startup without needing the webapp manager to deploy it manually. I don't know if thats a good enough reason to get rid of ROOT but I just want to let you know there was a purpose for doing that. If you still think it should be done i shall do it.
