No, it does not. .xml files in the Host appBase will be ignored.
[Sigh...] I thought I had it. Checking back, I see that only the balancer sample app has it context description file there.
You need to put your Context elements in XML files next to the ones for the manager and admin, and it will work ok.
OK, I tried doing searches of the various *.xml files. Here's what I found:
balancer.xml is in:
%CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\balancer
%CATALINA_HOME\conf\Catalina\localhostjsp-examples.xml is in:
can't find it, but it got installed according to stdout.logservlets-examples.xml is in:
can't find it, but it got installed according to stdout.logadmin.xml is in:
%CATALINA_HOME%\server\webapps\admin
%CATALINA_HOME\conf\Catalina\localhostmanager.xml is in:
%CATALINA_HOME%\server\webapps\manager
%CATALINA_HOME\conf\Catalina\localhost
The %CATALINA_HOME\conf\Catalina\localhost location is mentioned in the Tomcat docs, but I thought the server.xml location was mentioned also. To top it all off, the book TOMCAT, THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE (the only O'Reilly book I've ever been disappointed in) says the *.xml context descriptions (or "fragments", is it calls them) are placed in %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps directory.
