If you mean the root web app, it exists because any JSP or servlet has to
exist in a web app. If you like you can think of the ROOT web app as the
default web app. If you will absolutely never reference any URLs except
those in another web app you can dispense with ROOT, but attempts to
access any files outside your web apps will probably result in lengthy
delays while the browser waits for a response, since none is returned by
the server (at least in my tests). You're better off with an empty ROOT
web app, I think.
