That is the documentation for the latest release. You are using a release from almost 2 years ago. There really is no need to quote the documentation at this sort of length.

The behaviour you require is not available with the version of Tomcat you are currently running. Uninstall the out of date version you currently have and install the latest 7.0.x release. For details of when this behaviour changed, see the change log.
