webapps/ROOT

Hi Chuck,

Sorry to bug you again.
But all I was asking was, "do you know where in the tomcat5.5 core
download
The servlets.jar is located so I can set my $CLASSPATH to it?

If you do, It would be greatly appreciated if you could share this with
me.

Thanks, I know how important your time is...

Regards,

It's the default application for the host.

So that end users can use just the host name, and don't have to know an
app name.

> c) what are the consequences of such a deployment? any?

Loss of the standard Tomcat welcome page is about it.

This is the recommended way of deploying the default app for a given
host.
