I suspect the context.xml file in META-INF isn't honored unless you deploy your webapp as a web archive file (.war). Sounds to me like this webapp is an exploded folder under webapps directory. In that case, copy the context.xml file to Catalina/localhost, rename to match your web application's context and re-start the webapp. You should find the valve suddenly start working.
