(Here we go again... my favorite subject :-)
 
First, read the doc:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html
 
Note the following extracts from the Introduction and the description of
the path attribute:
 
"For Tomcat 6, unlike Tomcat 4.x, it is NOT recommended to place
<Context> elements directly in the server.xml file. This is because it
makes modifing the Context configuration more invasive since the main
conf/server.xml file cannot be reloaded without restarting Tomcat."
 
"The value of this field must not be set except when statically defining
a Context in server.xml, as it will be inferred from the filenames used
for either the .xml context file or the docBase."
 
Nor should you be specifying a docBase. Put the <Context> elements where
they belong - in META-INF/context.xml of each webapp - and remove the
path and docBase attributes.
 
Also, reading this part of the doc:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/logging.html
 
would show you that the <Logger> element is no longer used.
