Interesting. So, what If I wanted to deploy an app as a .war file with a context.xml file in META-INF, but wanted the app to be deployed to webapps/dir1/dir2/myapp rather than just webapps/myapp? The file in META-INF must be named "context.xml". What clue can one give Tomcat the clue that it should be deployed in a special way other than manually creating the context config file manually before deploying the app?
