In that case, you have to either ensure that your webapp.s do not
contain META-INF/context.xml or that the Host has deployXML='false'.
Otherwise the webapp itself will supply a Context.
Tomcat will generate a Context on its own in some circumstances which
I've not yet completely worked out from the documentation. How did
you disable this?
In the development environment settings, I don't usually add a
context.xml file under META-INF.
I normally create a <ContextName>.xml file under each <Host Name> folder.
So with the above setting, I can visibly see in Tomcat's start-up
console that it has loaded only those webapps that have a .xml file,
and doesn't load those that don't.
I also keep my projects ~outside~ Tomcat's webapps folder and I only
specify the project's root folder in the docBase attribute of Context.
The appBase attribute is something like webapps/ContextName , and path
is empty. This way, upgrading Tomcat becomes easier and simpler.
I haven't really experienced Tomcat generating a Context (either in
server.xml or a Context xml file under <Host Name> )
May be it generates one under META-INF/context.xml , but may be empty as in
<Context path="">
</Context>
