Thanks.  I did as you instructed creating in
"$CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost" the file ROOT.xml

<Context docBase="/usr/local/apache2/htdocs"
        privileged="true" antiResourceLocking="false" antiJARLocking="false">
</Context>

and I deleted the webapps/ROOT directory.  I restarted and now i get a
404 when I make my request ...

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# wget http://localhost:8080/test.jsp
--11:21:19--  http://localhost:8080/test.jsp
          => `test.jsp'
Resolving localhost... 127.0.0.1
Connecting to localhost|127.0.0.1|:8080... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 /test.jsp
11:21:19 ERROR 404: /test.jsp.

Is the ROOT.xml file correct?

They don't have to be in a .war, but they do have to part of some
webapp.  The easiest thing to do is put them under webapps/ROOT.  If you
don't want them there, delete the webapps/ROOT directory, and create a
ROOT.xml file in conf/[engine]/[host] containing a docBase attribute
that points to the location of your JSPs.
