I think what you have just described very clearly is the difference between how the J2EE architects envisioned WARs would work and the reality of how most Tomcat system admins work with WARs. Historically, there have been a lot of changes in exactly how automatic deployment of WARs and context.xml files are handled as we tried to find a model that worked for as many folks as possible while remaining logical, consistent and (relatively) simple to implement. The result can be found here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/automatic-deployment.html With the current 8.0.x and 7.0.x releases I think either approach will work. Pack your context.xml in your WAR file if you want to. Have a single WAR and an external context.xml if you prefer.
