You need to take your META-INF/context.xml file and put it into
CATALINA_BASE/conf/[engine]/[host]/[appname].xml

It will deploy the applications in conf/.../[appname].xml as above.

Take your META-INF/context.xml file and copy it into
CATALINA_BASE/conf/[engine]/[host]/ws#test#application#2.3.xml

[engine] the name of your <Engine> in server.xml and it almost always
"Catalina". [host] is the name of the <Host> under which the context
should be deployed. If you are using a default configuration (which
seems like a good idea in general), this will be "localhost". So, put
your file into
CATALINA_BASE/conf/[engine]/[host]/ws#test#application#2.3.xml

Make sure that you:

1. Remove any "path" parameter from <Context>
2. Add a "docBase" to your ws#test#application#2.3.xml pointing to the WAR
2. Either keep autoDeploy="false" or move your WAR file out of
webapps/ and adjust the "docBase" in your deployment descriptor
accordingly, otherwise you'll get a double-deployment
