You can still do that without setting the DocumentRoot to your appbase.

Try this:

GET http://localhost/Andromeda/META-INF/context.xml

(or maybe GET http://localhost/Andromeda/WebContent/META-INF/context.xml
- - it's really hard to understand what your appbase really is).

If you have a container-managed db connection pool, you are more than
likely to have your database username and password in that file, which
is now publicly accessible via HTTP. Pwned.

You should learn to do things properly. I'm not trying to be nasty, but
you should try to get in the habit of doing things securely even when
they are toys. That way you won't forget to do it when it really matters.

That's surprising, given your configuration.

Yes, if the tags are being evaluated and you're not just getting the
source code.

Can't tell, you didn't show us any of that.

If that points to a directory, both Apache and Tomcat will perform a
redirect and add the "/" so it probably doesn't matter.

See above.
