Using the / context root

You can install ColdFusion MX for IBM WebSphere Application Server at the / context root or at
another context root, such as /cfmx. If you do not use the / context root, users normally specify
the context root as part of your application's URLs; for example, http://www.myco.com/cfmx/
welcome.htm. If you install at the / context root, users do not have to include a context root in
URLs.
