A relative pathname will work for <WatchedResource>. Look at the
default entry in conf/context.xml:
<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
which is exactly what you want. I just tested it, and editing web.xml
causes my app to be reloaded, whether the <WatchedResource> is in
conf/context.xml or in my app's META-INF/context.xml.
I'm running Tomcat 5.5.12 on Windows.
Are you editing the live web.xml directly, or are you using a
development environment like Eclipse WebTools that copies the files
from a source directory to a Tomcat directory? Maybe you're not
editing the same web.xml that Tomcat is looking at?
