Tomcat 8 deploy to root context not working [message #1705623]

I am trying to test a simple webapp that will eventually be deployed to the root context on a Tomcat instance.

In Eclipse I open the server configuration page and under the Modules tab I set the Path to the empty string.

index.php/fa/22946/0/

However when running the webapp from within Eclipse, the "gallery" prefix is still required for requests to be routed to the application.

${tomcat.home}/conf/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context docBase="D:\dev\tools\apache-tomcat-8.0.24\wtpwebapps\gallery" 
         path="" 
         reloadable="true" 
         source="org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.server:gallery"/>

I have also configured the Web Project Settings context path:

index.php/fa/22947/0/

Everything seems to be configured to serve the application from the root context, and yet it still requires an extra /gallery prefix in every URL path.

What is the correct way to deploy to the root context? Is this possible from Eclipse?

Open the Properties dialog for the "gallery" project and go to the "Web
Project Settings" page. For "Content root", you can't leave it blank,
but you can enter "/" and Tomcat should serve the project as the "ROOT"
webapp.

Cheers,
