It makes perfect sense.

To deploy your web application in a "safe" way, you need to do the
following:

0. Start with a stopped Tomcat.
1. Put the WAR wherever you want it to live. CATALINA_BASE/webapps is
fine.
2. Extract META-INF/context.xml from your WAR file and place it in
CATALINA_BASE/conf/[engine]/[host]/[appname].xml
3. Modify [appname].xml to add whatever restrictions you want.
4. Start Tomcat.

If you overwrite the WAR file, the restrictions you have set should be
maintained. Note that if you /undeploy/ the webapp and then redeploy
it, any customizations will be lost and will have to be re-applied.
