Okay, I think I can see that this is basically an undesired result under
TC 5. (Although I kinda wish I knew why my setup is doing what is
apparently the right thing after all.)

I finally found a place where it says the app\WEB-INF\context.xml file
is the one _I_ am supposed to write for the app if it needs one.
But it looks like the context elements can also go in
app\WEB-INF/web.xml, and the documentation seems to mention web.xml more
than context.xml, which is a little confusing. (If I were confident of
my interpretation, I'd offer some diffs.)
I thought I saw mention of the default context specification buried
somewhere in a source directory. Wish I could find it, although it may
not turn out to be useful as an example of what should go in it.
