I think the Tomcat support in Eclipse WTP is pretty reasonable, but it isn't perfect. For example, if you name your project ROOT, Eclipse won't tell you that you are asking for trouble because some web servers, like Tomcat, may give that particular name special treatment. This would explain the:
<Context docBase="ROOT" path="/ROOT" reloadable="true" source="org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:ROOT"/> Thus, I would recommend not naming a Dynamic Web Project "ROOT". You can make a Dynamic Web Project the default webapp by opening the Web Project Setting page of the project's Properties dialog and set the Context Root field to a blank string. When published to a Tomcat server in Eclipse, it will become the default (i.e. ROOT) webapp. Because putting Contexts in server.xml is supported by all versions of Tomcat, this is the default behavior. For Tomcat 5.x and later, you can enable the "Publish module contexts to separate XML files" option in the server editor. This will remove the Contexts from the server.xml (the one found under the Servers project in your workspace) and write the Contexts to separate files when publishing the server. Obviously, this implies the server.xml you find under the Servers project in your workspace is not the one used by Tomcat when it is running. Tomcat runs off a modified copy created when the server is published. See http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_Tomcat_FAQ for more details about the Tomcat support in Eclipse.
