When I run Tomcat by itself, my app works the way it should, and Manager says it's running.

If there's a convenient way to do all of the things I need to do without running Tomcat through Eclipse, I'd be happy to try it. I never found a good setup for external Tomcat that gave me satisfactory debugging and delta publishing options.

This is good advice in general, and something I will try to do from now on. I moved the <Context> elements out of server.xml and into META-INF/context.xml, and everything seems to be working properly. However, it did not solve my original problem.
I hope to have more time tomorrow to take a more thorough look at what is and isn't happening when I start this server, and why. Thanks for your help and suggestions.

RE: warning: Setting property 'source' [...] did not find a
matching property.
Posted by "Dwight, August" <Au...@railinc.com>.
Well, problem solved.
As I mentioned, the warning disappeared when I got rid of the source attribute in my <Context> element. My real problem, where Tomcat didn't seem to be publishing my web project, appears to have been caused at least partly by Eclipse adding the src/main/webapp folder to the Java build path. I could have sworn that I checked for this earlier, but either I didn't actually check or else there was another factor which I never properly identified but somehow fixed at some point.
