Answer 1

Add root.xml file in $CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ and add this as :

 <Context 
   docBase="/opt/mywebapps/<yourApp>" 
   path="" 
   reloadable="true" 
  />

For more detail you can use the Apache context configuration link : http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html
