Not sure if this is relevant, but the attribute is docBase, not docbase. However, using docBase inside a <Context> element that itself is in META-INF/context.xml inside a .war file has always been puzzling to me. As I understand it, docBase tells Tomcat where to find the webapp to deploy; however, it must have already found the .war file, otherwise it couldn't have gotten to the context.xml... So what's the point of docBase in this case? Have you tried taking it out? And, do you have autoDeploy enabled?
