Where is this documented? I have had no problem doing this. Since I now put context files in conf/[Engine]/[Host], I went back and added
<Context docBase="d:/tjl/Projects/log4jconfig" path="/log4jconfig"/> to my server.xml and http://localhost:8080/manager/list shows OK - Listed applications for virtual host localhost /admin:running:0:C:/Tomcat/server/webapps/admin /host-manager:running:0:C:/Tomcat/server/webapps/host-manager /log4jconfig:running:0:D:/tjl/Projects/Log4JConfig /:running:0:ROOT /manager:running:0:C:/Tomcat/server/webapps/manager So I was able to put a path in the context and it was respected.

One issue is that the path element can only be set to "" when you use it in the server.xml.
