Ok I fixed this issue. Moved the context tag to context.xml and deployed it as ROOT. Works fine now.
However I have another application which I will be deploying in the same tomcat. This will be basically myapp2.war ,so how do I manage this deployment so that whenever someones gives www.myapp2.com, it should open up ? I assume we cannot have 2 root deployment in the same tomcat.
