I have added some clarification to the docs that should help. This will be 
included in the next release. I have also included it here.

When using automatic deployment, the docBase defined by an XML Context file 
should be outside of the appBase directory. If this is not the case 
difficulties may be experienced deploying the web application or the 
application may be deployed twice.

I don't understand your configuration or what you are trying to do.
I have the impression you don't know how to use the deploy command (the XML 
file should be put inside the WAR you deploy; it shouldn't be deployed to 
Tomcat separately).

Perhaps the context (pun not intended) was lost in the bug report; I've
previously posted information about the environment on tomcat-user and thought
this was a sufficiently-detailed bug report.  So here's what I'm trying to do.

As I understand it, Servlet 2.3 allows parameters set inside web.xml to be
overridden locally on a remote server by the addition of a context fragment in
the webapps directory.  In fact, this is exactly how the manager and admin
server webapps are configured.  This behaviour is referred to in Automatic
Application Deployment in the Tomcat documentation:

blockquote
If you are using the standard Host implementation, the following actions take
place automatically when Catalina is first started, if the autoDeploy property
is set to true (which is the default value:

- Any XML file in this directory [appBase] is assumed to contain a Context
element (and its associated subelements) for a single web application.  The
docBase attribute of this Context element will typically be the absolute
pathname to a web application directory, or the absolute pathname of a web
application archive (WAR) file (which will not be expanded).

[...]

In addition to the automatic deployment that occurs at startup time, you can
also request that new XML configuration files, WAR files, or subdirectories
(containing web applications) that are dropped in to the appBase directory while
Tomcat is running will be automatically deployed, according to the rules
described above.

/blockquote

I'm aware that WEB-INF/web.xml must be placed inside the deployed .war file--a
webapp won't even work without it.  This is about overriding or adding
parameters for a specific instance of a webapp.

If there's a parameter for the deploy/ task that allows one to upload a
separate configuration file for an instance without changing the contents of the
.war file itself, I'm not familiar with it.  Please point out the documentation
that I've obviously missed.

Ian Darwin correctly pointed out in e-mail that I have confused the servlet spec
with Tomcat's configuration extensions.  (I should have figured this out from
the case discrepancies--the Servlet 2.3 descriptor DTD is entirely lowercase,
while Tomcat's XML tags are in mixed case.)

However, even though it's not in the servlet specification, my observation
doesn't seem to match what's been documented in Tomcat (quoted previously).  If
this (expected/desired) behaviour is incorrect, perhaps it could be clarified in
the documentation.

Thanks, Ian and Remy (and Jacob on tomcat-user), for your comments.
