Hi Charles, Thanks for taking the time to answer. I'm using Tomcat 6.0 on Solaris
I understand it's not ideal, however, I have to work this way because of a framework built for a different platform. The deployment mechanisms are such that they don't deploy to ROOT. Anyway with you're inspiring words of " webapp isn't being deployed properly" got me going and rebuilding, killing the jdk and starting up again. Something got cleared and it's working again.

However the browser shows the Tomcat homepage. Possibly browser caching, but also possible that your webapp isn't being deployed properly. > How do I disable the ROOT context? You can't - there must always be a ROOT context; you have just chosen a poor (and conflicting) way to specify it. What you should be doing: 1) Tell us the version of Tomcat you're using. 2) Stop Tomcat. 3) Remove the existing ROOT directory from the <Host> appBase directory. 4) Rename your webapp to ROOT (or ROOT.war, if appropriate). 5) Remove the <Context> element from server.xml. 6) Remove the contents of Tomcat's work and temp directories. 7) Remove the ROOT.xml file (if it exists) from conf/Catalina/[host]. 8) Restart Tomcat. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
