Well, the server.xml parsing should accept URLs anywhere you can specify
a file (assuming we've hooked up everything correctly) so you could
probably have ${context-root} return the result of
WebResourceRoot.getResource("/").getURL()
However...
That is only going to work *after* the web application has started but
you need it *before* the app starts to use it in context.xml.
I think this might end up being one of those cases where using
${catalina.base} is the better approach.
