Not ideal really but does the job!

From what I can tell, the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT.xml thing doesn’t work.
We just ended up making an ANT task (or three) that renames the artifact to ROOT.war when it gets copied to the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ directory.
Yeah, it’s very frustrating… :-(

I think I’m having a similar issue!
