Hi Phil,
To answer your question directly; no, in 5 you don't need (and
shouldn't have) a context entry in the server.xml for a war file (or
any webapp for that matter). Assuming the war contains a context.xml
file in META-INF, then tomcat will use that one (it will copy it to
{TomcatHome}\conf\Catalina\hostname\WarFilename.xml and use it from
there).
Hope that clears things up.
Cheers,
Patrick
