one possible solution
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ROOT.xml
where
<Context docBase=”/my-path/applicationName.war ” />
/*docBase is "an absolute pathname for this directory or WAR file, or a pathname
that is relative to the appBase directory of the
owning Host."*/
the reference for Context element and attribute documentation at
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html
an example of configuring ROOT.xml is available at
http://benhutchison.wordpress.com/2008/07/30/how-to-configure-tomcat-root-context/
the manager webappmyust be loaded before ROOT.war
manager must be working first
use manager to upload ROOT.war
a howto on howto use Manager webapp to upload ROOT.war is available at
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/manager-howto.html#Configuring%20Manager%20Application%20Access
this is only one proposal feel free to solicit other solutions fromlist
