In the case of the examples, it's $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/apps-examples.xml.  If 
TC 3.3 doesn't find a $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/apps-<myapp>.xml, it will also 
attempt to mount any directories found in $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps.

If you want to put your apps someplace other than $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps, you 
need to change/add the <AutoWebApp> and <AutoDeploy> elements in server.xml. 
If you just one one app someplace else, then you can do it easier by 
creating an apps-<myapp>.xml file with the docBase pointing to the correct 
place.
