You certainly had one before, although it may have been created
automatically during the deployment.  Whatever script you're using
should also have created it for Tomcat 6.

Most books have not caught up to Tomcat 5.5, let alone 6.  In any event,
the doc is here:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html

Basically, you need to create a file named ROOT.xml in
conf/Catalina/[host]; within that file you need to have a <Context>
element with a docBase attribute pointing to the actual location of your
webapp (c:/myapp/WebRoot, apparently).  You may need other attributes as
well; that depends on the webapp.

You must also delete Tomcat's regular webapps/ROOT directory and
everything in it.
