define your host name(<host name="myhost" ...>). then define your context
'foo'. You will have to check the docs for the new syntax for host and
context, but they are somewhat similar IIRC.

no, the server.xml is changed. you need to define your hosts/contexts in the

handy indeed. But only copy the WEB-INF/web.xml in your webapp. You do not
