Serve uncompressed javascript files? That should be easy. (Why bother
to say "uncompressed". Presumably they are also unencrypted, and
un-obfuscated and a whole bunch of other things that they are not.)

Bad premise (Tomcat is just fine when serving static content), bad
advice (configuring a <Context> in server.xml) and bad writing
(<Context> is an element, not a parameter).

Take the <Context> out of your server.xml and put it here:

CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost/dojo.xml:

<Context docBase="D:/Downloads/dojo-release-1.7.1-src" />

Okay. Where is the dojo.js file on the filesystem?
