I agree, so maybe it's a flaw in Tomcat that it's not doing this when
running it via the <cactus> task?  I normally just use <runservertests>,
which works good enough, but I want to expand testing to Resin.  Of
course, it looks like this task doesn't support 3.0.x, so I might be
wasting my time, eh?

It's basically a way to configure your Tomcat server w/o editing the
server.xml.  You can just drop your <Context> definition into an XML
file and put it in the webapps directory.  It's the same thing as
putting a Context in server.xml.

In addition to nesting Context elements inside a Host element, you can
also store them in individual files (with a ".xml" extension) in the
appBase  directory for a Host. See Automatic Application Deployment for
more information.

Resin has the same ability, but you do have to tell it (in resin.conf)
that you have a separate *.conf file.  Sure would be nice if they'd pick
that up automagically.
