It is even clearer to me that you haven't read the Tomcat documentation
that Apache has out there online:
"For Tomcat 5, 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.
Context elements may be explicitly defined:
in the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/context.xml file: the Context element
information will be loaded by all webapps
in the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/context.xml.default
file: the Context element information will be loaded by all webapps of
that host
in individual files (with a ".xml" extension) in the
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ directory. The name of the
file (less the .xml) extension will be used as the context path.
Multi-level context paths may be defined using #, e.g. context#path.xml.
The default web application may be defined by using a file called ROOT.xml.
if the previous file was not found for this application, in an
individual file at /META-INF/context.xml inside the application files
inside a [ http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/host.html
]Host element in the main conf/server.xml
