Below is the response I got from the user list after inquiring about how to=
 specify the default context for a given host in v5.5.x.  If this is indeed=
 the correct way to specify the default context for a host in v 5.5.x, coul=
d I request that one of the following be done (in order of personal prefere=
nce).=0A=0A1) have tomcat respect the value of the "path" context attribute=
 regardless of where the context is defined (inside server.xml or in myweba=
ppcontext.xml)=0A=0A2) add an attribute to host element allowing explicit d=
eclaration of the default context's path.=0A=0A3) Add a section to the docu=
mentation that outlines the procedure for defining the default context/host=
 when the context is defined inside and outside server.xml (existing docs o=
nly work for when context is defined in server.xml).=0A=0AThanks,=0AJon=0A=
