This is unconnected with your initial problem, but "URIEncoding" isn't
a valid attribute for <Context>.
And as a didactic interlude, here is why :
1) the standard default character set / encoding on the WWW is (regretably) still
ISO-8859-1 (otherwise known as iso-latin-1 or simply latin-1). So in the absence of this
attribute, the request URI would be interpreted by the webserver as encoded in ISO-8859-1.
The attribute tells the webserver (Tomcat) to interpret the URI instead as being
Unicode, UTF-8 encoded, which is not the default.
2) The webserver first has to decode the protocol and host and port part of the HTTP
request. That tells it (among other things) which <Host> should handle the request.
3) The mapping of the request to a webapp (also known as Context) comes later, within the
<Host>. And for doing that, the webserver needs to be able to decode and interpret the
URI properly, for which it needs to know in which character set / encoding this URI is
expressed.
At the level of the <Context> thus, this attribute would come "too late", because by then
the mapping of the URI to a Context/webapp should already have happened.
That's why "URIEncoding" is an attribute of the <Host> entry, and not the <Context> entry.
CQFD.
Also, your context.xml should never
contain a "path" attribute for <Context>.
Explained in detail here :
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/context.html#Common_Attributes
--> path
You should remove both of these attributes from <Context>.
