context problems: docBase inside the host appBase warnings

Hi people,


Specifying a Context descriptor for a traditionally-deployed webapp, in /webapps, produces warnings when using the supposed 'new and recommended'   /conf/[engine]/[hostname]/someApp.xml   context specifiers.

WARNING:  A docBase XXX inside the host appBase has been specified, and will be ignored


This breaks compatability with normal/ traditional deployment methods.  Neither am I aware of a better alternative?

The message also appears incorrect in that the webapp will actually be deployed from this location. See later though for incorrect recognition, incorrect scrubbing/ deletion etc separate webapp/ context problems.
