A) <Context> elements should not be in server.xml - they belong in each 
webapp's META-INF/context.xml file, or in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml.  
Had you used the strongly recommended technique, you wouldn't have a problem.

B) As the 5.5 doc clearly states, the path for the default webapp is "", not 
"/".

C) There is no <DefaultContext> element in Tomcat 5.5.  You appear to have 
copied over a horribly outdated configuration from some older version and tried 
to use it in 5.5; that's always a dangerous thing to do.
