Thanks Chuck for you Mail! The reason why I'm asking is, because I'm using eclipse and its 'dynamic web project' structure. For me actually I don't really care if it's on top or in some 'WebContent' directory. I just didn't want to change the structure every time I want to run/deploy my application. I thought that Tomcat is by default so configured that the ROOT is mapped to 'WebContent' but somehow not in my case.
