Hi,

The META-INF/context.xml is one way in which a *web application context* can be 
configured, not Tomcat itself per se, although it is an instruction on behalf 
of the web application *to* Tomcat about what *it* needs Tomcat to setup for 
itself, e.g database pools, environment vars or whatever. 

Yes /MyWebApp/META-INF would be correct, as per the servlet spec for web 
application structure.
