Thanks George.
In my case, the server restart doesn't help. But that might be because
I've changed my Engine parameters from the default. I've turned off
autoDeploy. Here is an excerpt from server.xml:
<Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="false" deployOnStartup="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false" deployXML="false"
>
Perhaps that explains why on tomcat restart, my context.xml isn't
recognized?
I turned off autoDeploy in the interest of security.
I will keep looking for when this gets fixed. I'd really like to be able
to use the META-INF/context.xml without having autoDeploy set to true.
Is this a crazy idea?

It has been noted that the META-INF/context.xml is only read on server
startup. It appears that deployment of a new host with a context in the
AppBase does not work.
