Research direction

Start by locating the deployment code that reads webapp_path and creates or extracts the .war file. Reproduce the configuration with webapp_path set to /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ROOT, then verify that the WAR contents are extracted into ROOT rather than leaving a renamed WAR file there; also consider the ROOT.war scenario described in the issue.

Description

KPM

... or a control parameter whether to extract the .war

killbill:
  version: 0.12.1
  webapp_path: /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ROOT
  plugins_dir: /var/tmp/bundles

simply created a killbill-xxx.war file under the ROOT directory (which is no a valid / deployment) instead of extracting the .war content there ... scenarios where the .war is renamed would likely be also interesting on some servers (have not tried) e.g. /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ROOT.war
