For clarification, do you mean deployed _as_ ROOT, or _under_ ROOT?  Webapps 
cannot be nested, so no webapp should be deployed _under_ another.

Remember that relative links are based on the web page the links are accessed 
from, not to the base of the webapp.  You need to use a leading slash to base 
them on the webapp.
