Unfortunately, this is expected behavior. There is a bug about it at http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/ if you want to search for it. The docs mention this as the expected behavior, but don't give a reason why it should be that way. Basically, if you name a <Context ....> element, you will have to make sure you expand the .war yourself before starting Tomcat. Any Tomcat developers want to pipe in and explain why the behavior is this way?
