I'm struggling big time trying to set up a virtual host in Tomcat.

I'm running Tomcat version 6.0.18 under Linux and nothing else (i.e., no Apache 
web server, etc.).

I've read the official 6.0 docs here over and over.
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/virtual-hosting-howto.html

But it seems like these docs are trying to give me a whole new context where I can put more webapps (maybe I'm missing the point), but I merely want to be able to point my browser at something arbitrary like www.dummy.com (or www.dummy.com:8080) and have an app deployed under /webapps/dummy be served w/o the need to add /dummy to the end of the URL.

Can anyone give point me to simple instructions for setting this up?

Thanks and sorry for being so pathetic. I've read probably a dozen forum posts and articles (and tried about ~30 different configurations in server.xml) but nothing has worked for me. Also, it seems like the way to set this up under 6.* has changed a bit. After going back and forth between including a <Context...> and omitting it (the 6.* way?) I'm absolutely confused.

Thanks for reading!
Eric
