Thanks for the info, I had missed that subtlety in the 5.5 docs, but I'd figured out about the Path element in 5.5 anyway. My problem is getting 5.0 working on Linux. I am using a virtually identical WAR file that only differs in as much as its context.xml has a Context element with Path="" and docBase="ROOT" values in it. I keep getting that pesky "Missing application web.xml" error message that I suspect is pointing away from the cause of the problem. I re-iterate that if I unzip my ROOT.war file in situ (ie into a ROOT directory next to the ROOT.war file) the site works!
