Yes, this particular case will work like that now, in order to
simplify quite a bit the deployer (generating a trivial xml file to
reference the context would work, but might not contain what you
expect, which is why Tomcat copies your webappp). For now, I recommend
giving a xml file to Tomcat if you want to point to an external
context.
