I have found this *not* to be true in the case that you specify the context in the Server.xml. If I don't specify it in server.xml, it expands the .war file on startup. With it specified, the .war file isn't expanded and if I don't expand it manually before Tomcat startup, the context will not be found. Any solution to that problem?
