Have you tried the following names defined in the Servlet 3.0 specification:
15.2.3 JNDI Name for Web Module Context Root URL
The name of the pre-defined java.net.URL resource for the context
root of a web application has the following syntax:
java:global[/<app-name>]/<module-name>!ROOT in the global namespace
and
java:app/<module-name>!ROOT in the application-specific namespace.
Best regards,
Harald
