Ahh! Thanks! I found the appBase attribute in the <Host> element. I'm putting absolute paths in everything (of the form "/usr/local/tomcat/...", not of the form "http://localhost:8080/...";) to see if that gets it working. The only context.xml file I've found is in the CATALINA_HOME/conf directory, not a META-INF directory.
