Holy crap!! I just copied it to the webapps folder in Tomcat and it worked.  Talk about cool. I didn't event have to touch any XML files.
Can someone give me some information on how it was able to do this? I am not clear on how a WAR file works nor how Tomcat dealt with it when I copied it into the webapps folder.

When a WAR file is copied into the WebApps directory Tomcat unzips it (war's, jar's, ear's etc are just zip files in disguise) into the webapps directory.
There is one exception, something to do with the server.xml file which you just would not expect Tomcat to not realise there is anything to deploy, but I can't remember what it is right now.
