Nearly. Rename your file ROOT.xml and a path of /ROOT and you're away. The other alternative is create in your web application folder META-INF/context.xml

However, as I understand it, <Context> should now be in its own xml file. I extracted the <Context> content and placed it in context.xml. I placed context.xml in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost, restarted tomcat but now the browser shows nothing. I also tried placing it in the conf/ folder but that doesn't work either. Where does the file go?
