Tomcat virtual host and context config

I'm having an issue accomplishing something. I currently own a domain and I have the DNS set up to hit Tomcat on 8080 on my local machine when requested in the browser. All good so far. So when it hits Tomcat I get the standard "Cat" page where I can access manager, host-manager, etc...

My goal is to set up a virtual host to have a request to my domain routed to a specific webapp located in the Tomcat_Home\webapp folder. So I configure my server.xml as such: 

<Host name="dwnewton.com" appBase="webapps"
    unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">

</Host>

The dwnewton.war has been deployed to webapps and has unpacked itself as expected. But no matter what I do I cannot get Tomcat to route my request to a specific webapp within the Tomcat_Home\webapp directory.

I'm getting pretty frustrated. Perhaps I'm specifying the appBase or path or docBase incorrectly. Or maybe I'm putting them in the wrong location.

If you rename dwnewton.war to ROOT.war, it should be available at the root of your domain.
