You can put the Valve in the myapp.xml file if you'd like. You can put myapp.xml in the webapps directory, in the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/[engine]/[host] directory, or in the app's WAR file's META-INF directory. This is all explained in detail in the tomcat configuration reference documentation: start with the Host configuration page and follow the link to the document titled "Automatic Application Deployment." Of course, having a separate myapp.xml file for each webapp is just as much work as having an entry for each in server.xml: both approaches have pros and cons, but they're the essentially the same amount of work ;) Don't be afraid of modifying server.xml: make a backup copy, make your changes, try them out, and you can always go back to the working one.
