Chuck, you rock!!! I changed the appBase to "/var/www" for Host, added "testapp" in the Context docBase and restarted the tomcat and it worked!!!
I will work on migrating the Context elements to the META-INF folder as suggested by you. Again, thank you very much for your help on this and you have have a wonderful day.
