Reading the actual Tomcat doc and FAQ is probably more productive.

That's a bad idea right off; there shouldn't be any <Context> elements in 
server.xml.

If you insist on having the webapp name be different than its URI path, you 
must keep the webapp outside of the <Host> appBase directory, and place the 
<Context> element in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml.  The <Context> element 
must include the docBase attribute pointing to the absolute location of the 
webapp, and the path attribute must *not* be used.
