Yes and no. To keep things simple and to start you down the path of Tomcat knowledge, for now create the context section as shown in the example. Later you can move it to context.xml. Look up the context section under server configuration for more detail. > > Step 3. web.xml configuration - Do I make/add these changes to the web.xml > under $CATALINA\ROOT\WEB-INF or under a subdirectory called /DBTest/??

No. IMHO You need to create the file structure and the web.xml. Not sure what else as I use .war files.
