path is what you see in the url, docbase is what you see on the
filesystem.
So one example would be for a file called 'juglist-1.0.3.war'. I could put
this in webapps/ and setup a Context with a path of '/juglist' and a
docbase of '/tmp/tomcat/webapps/juglist-1.0.3.war'.
eg)
<Context path="/jira"
docBase="/home/java/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24/webapps/atlassian-jira-2.3.war">
This is an extreme example though, usually they say the same thing because
the same name is given to the url directory as the webapps directory.
eg)
<Context path="/jira" docBase="jira" debug="0"/>
I'm unsure about the absolute filename in the docBase and need to test it
someday to see if I really need it for .war's or not.

Should just be the second type of example.
<Context path="/classic" docBase="Classic"/>
[Note that I lowercased the url. It'll be case sensitive]
