server.xml is the one that's used to generate tomcat-apache.conf, but at
least as of 3.1 final it did not correctly copy over the full path for
new contexts unless they are added under <path-to-tomcat>/webapps. So If
you want your context to live somewhere else you'll need to modify (i.e.
correct) tomcat-apache.conf after it's created, and then it's a good
idea to rename that to something else and include the new file name in
your httpd.conf.
