To allow you to call the servlets with http://localhost:8080/servlet/servletname instead of http://localhost:8080/examples/servlet/servletname WITHOUT having to move your stuff into weabpps/ROOT, remove the following two lines from server.xml:

<Context path="" docBase="webapps/ROOT" debug="0" reloadable="true" >
</Context>

..and replace them with:

<Context path="" docBase="webapps/examples" debug="0" reloadable="true" >
</Context>

There's nothing special about the webapps/ROOT directory - it's just a normal directory that happens to have the "root" context path set for it in the default server.xml file.
