Where on that page does it say that the context.xml file is used to define the context path? Maybe an explicit statement that this is not the case is required. If you look up the configuration for Context elements (which you would have to do to figure out how to define the context path for a context element) you will see that there are limitations on when the path attribute may be used. > I seem not to be alone in thinking this is the case.

Where? I don't believe there are any places in the Tomcat docs where it is stated that a context path may be configured in a context.xml file. The docs do state that this is not the case. Perhaps we need to state this in more places.
