The default webapp must be named ROOT (case sensitive).  You'll need to del=
ete (or rename) Tomcat's default ROOT directory, and replace it with your w=
ebapp (ROOT directory or ROOT.war file).

> What does attribute of web application exactly mean?

Anything defined for the webapp inside the <Context> element, such as resou=
rces, valves, etc.

I don't know how much longer that <Context> elements inside server.xml will=
 be supported; the idea is to keep application information and Tomcat infor=
mation separate, and lumping it all into server.xml is counter to that.  Al=
so, you run the risk of multiple and conflicting deployments with <Context>=
 elements in server.xml and inconsistently named webapps in the appBase dir=
ectory.  As I said before, make your life simpler by following standard pra=
ctice, not what was current many years ago.
