We are using httpd as we serve *many* static files too and not every request is being forwarded to Tomcat - we have our reasons for using apache as a front end webserver. >> Currently we have the following >> $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ >> - app >> - ROOT -> app > > Bad practice - your app will be deployed twice.

Do we need both the context.xml file and the exploded application directory structure? The documentation isn't clear (to me) if they are both required or just the application directory (which we can name as ROOT) > Why are you insisting on making things more complicated?
