Thanks for the quick reply. Sorry - typo in previous email (name/path
should have read path/docBase!).
I actually did try renaming mywebapp.xml to differentName.xml, but got
errors saying it couldn't find ...\webapps\differentName.
So now I have differentName.xml, containing
<Context path="/differentName" docBase="/mywebapp"/>
but I get the follow errors:

Rename the mywebapp.xml file to differentName.xml, and re-read the
admittedly unclear docs about the path attribute at:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html
