Any subdirectory within the Application Base directory that appears to be an unpacked
web application (that is, it contains a /WEB-INF/web.xml file) will receive an
automatically generated Context element, even if this directory is not mentioned in
the conf/server.xml file. This generated Context entry will be configured according to
the properties set in any DefaultContext element nested in this Host element. The
context path for this deployed Context will be a slash character ("/") followed by the
directory name, unless the directory name is ROOT, in which case the context path will
be an empty string ("").
This is now all true, missed that /WEB-INF/web.xml initially, but now I have that ( a
basic one, but there )
I do not have to do anything further correct?

I put a web.xml file in there, still not autodeploying
The autodeploy is something that runs in the background, correct? Should just be able
to drop it down, and away it goes when it hits that deploy cycle?

No, that is the whole point of auto-deploy...you can deploy when Tomcat is
running. There are various ways to do this, as outlined in the docs, not
to mention the Tomcat manager application.
As I read the docs, if you have a directory within appBase that has a valid
directory structure (WEB-INF, WEB-INF/web.xml, etc.) then that Context will
be available to Tomcat without restarting.
If I'm wrong, someone please correct me. If I'm right, and it isn't
working (but "isn't working" is verified), then you should file a bug.
Lately, I've been using WAR files, and they deploy just fine without
restarting Tomcat. YMMV.
