I read the docs at the link you provided but have a few questions. I gathered from that doc that you would put a <Context> element directly in conf/context.xml, and not in server.xml, as previously.
Do you need to somehow reference your webapp within the context, in other words, do you need separate <Contexts for each webapp ? How do you reference your webapp within the <Context ? Please forgive the elementary questions. This is not easy stuff to wrap your mind around for noobs.
