Perhaps better to just make it fixed as localhost:9990. In the default 
configs, the interface for the management sockets is configured 
separately from the ones for other services, so changing the others to 
some non-localhost value will not affect the management socket. The 
users have to intentionally decide to keep them in sync, and my guess is 
they won't do that by default.

Deploy a war with / as its context path. I assume the magic ROOT.war 
name still works, but haven't tried it.
