Really strange problem with my Tomcat...PLEASE HELP!

hi,

I am getting very confused. The root directory is:

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\ROOT

If I go to:

http://localhost:8080/

I get the Tomcat index.jsp.

So far, so good.

If I now create a directory in this directory, ex0102, and then go,

http://localhost:8080/ex0102/

it works. So thats good.

Next thing I did was to go to:

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\

I placed a war in here from an example in my book, ex0102.war. I then deployed it. Now when I went to

http://localhost:8080/ex0102, it found the stuff in this new ex0102, and not the ex0102 in the ROOT. Even when I deleted the new ex0102, it is not finding the original ex0102 in the ROOT, even though it is still there.

Why?

Thanks.
