What Marc said is probably true but what about all these poor users who
don't use javascrip, hum?
I also noticed that with Tomcat, the new context deployment method does not
work: if you put your context.xml into META-INF, it's supposed to load it,
and it works... except when your context is ROOT!... why? don't ask me but
I'll check bugzilla if there's a bug on this.
Marc's second suggestion will work however.
1. from tomcat install root (CATALINA_HOME), create a folder called
"context"
2. edit context.xml and put "docbase="${catalina.home}\context\yourwebapp.war"
as an attribut of the <context> element
3. move your war file to the "context" folder (don't leave a copy of the war
in webapps!)
4. rename your context.xml to ROOT.xml, move this file to
conf/catalina/localhost (or whatever your host is)
5. start Tomcat -- you should get what you want
