That's what I did, I submitted this problem a month ago or so and came up with this solution, asking if there weren't any better ones. Renaming the webapp dir to ROOT is a nono so far, so I defined a nonexisting appBase and put an absolute path in <Context>. It works, but it's ugly, for sure :( I wonder whether creating Catalina/<hostname here>/ROOT.xml with the appropriate <Context> would work...
