Ok. Not reading the spec is your choice and so are the problems that might come of it. Even if you don't read it, keep it around as a reference. It might come in handy when you need an authoritative answer to a question.

Thanks for your reply, but reading the full spec doesn't fit my learning style. 
I don't know anyone who learned to program by reading a book from start to 
finish, and then sat down and wrote a complex program. Most people need a 
little snippet, something small and comprehensible, to get started.

Sounds like you need to study the actual servlet spec first:
http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr154/index.html

I've downloaded it, but there is too much to digest there for my purpose. What I'm looking for is like, "Where is the on/off switch?", rather than the design specifications for the device I'm trying to turn on or off.
Read the spec, followed by the Tomcat config guide:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/index.html

That URL points to a description of the server.xml file. I'm looking for a 
plain-language, doesn't-assume-too-much explanation of the web.xml file.

As for "Not a good idea to mix your webapp with the default app.", I've read it 
before, I understand the reasons for this, and for the purpose of experimentation, I've 
decided to ignore the advice.
