To quote from the Tomcat doc for <Context>: "In addition, a Context must be present with a context path equal to a zero-length string. This Context becomes the default web application for this virtual host, and is used to process all requests that do not match any other Context's context path." Failure to provide a default webapp results in undefined behavior, with some versions of Tomcat displaying only a blank page when a request cannot be mapped to any defined <Context>. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
