And it will only be there if you actually deploy the WAR file to
Tomcat (and unpackWARs is set to true).

It may be in a different directory if you use a context file. This is
how NetBeans operates. It may not even exist (if unpackWARs is set to
false).

What are you doing that requires knowledge of Document Root? BTW,
document root is really an Apache HTTPD concept, and not an Apache
Tomcat concept.

Also, it is the convention of this mailing list to either reply inline
or (preferably) at the end of the message. See the following for the
mailing list guidelines:

http://tomcat.apache.org/lists.html

(item 6 of the tomcat-users mailing list)

. . . just my two cents
