Actually, the one will suffice, if the OP is willing to eliminate Tomcat's 
existing ROOT webapp (no big loss).

However, a second <Host> is not needed - unless one has multiple domain names 
and wants a different default webapp for each.

Again, not needed if it's o.k. to eliminate the original ROOT webapp and 
there's only one default webapp.

This is the critical step: the easiest way to specify a default webapp is to 
name it ROOT.  Again, if only one <Host> element is needed, the above line 
would use "webapps" (or whatever the <Host> appBase specifies), not "webapps2".
