You can place a <Context> element in server.xml, but that is strongly 
discouraged these days, and we will likely yell at you if you do so.

You can also specify the default webapp by creating the file 
conf/Catalina/[host]/ROOT.xml that contains a <Context> element with a docBase 
attribute that points to a location *outside* of the <Host> appBase directory.  
You must also remove any ROOT.war file or ROOT directory from the <Host> 
appBase.  If you want to have the name of your .war file be different from the 
webapp name, this is the way to do it.
