The only thing missing from the above is that the [appName].xml file
containing the <Context> element with the docBase attribute should be
placed in conf/[engine]/[host] (usually conf/Catalina/localhost).  You
definitely don't want to put it in server.xml; doing so requires
restarting Tomcat when any changes are made to the app.
