Gotta get you out of the 4.1 mindset, Chris :-)

Do NOT put <Context> elements in server.xml; any changes to them require
a restart of Tomcat.  Rather, put the <Context> element in
conf/Catalina/[host]/[appname].xml, where appname is the desired name of
the application - it need not match the name of the .war file.  Use a
docBase attribute for <Context> that points to the .war file, which MUST
be placed outside of the <Host> appBase directory - otherwise you will
get the application deployed twice, once under the desired name, once
under the .war name.

Most people will suggest that you use the proper WAR file name for your
context and leave it at that.

An alternative is to specify a <Context> element in your server.xml file
and specify the name of the context as well as the location of the WAR
file. Note that in this case I think it's a big mistake to put the WAR
file into the server's "webapps" directory... you're better off putting
it somewhere else or things will act funny.
