I should add, I am using TC 5.0.28. When I remove all those entries, my context file now says;
<Context crossContext="true" privileged="true" > But, when I deploy it with tomcat manager, I get this error.

The same applies to the docBase attribute - it's only pertinent when your <Context> element is in some place other than META-INF/context.xml. The presence of inappropriate attributes may lead to inappropriate behavior. > In my original war file I have a context file with; > > <Context crossContext="true" docBase="mywebapp" path="/mywebapp" > privileged="true" workDir="work\Catalina\localhost\mywebapp"> Both the docBase and path attributes should be removed. Also, you don't really need workDir, since Tomcat will provide one for you the value of which you can retrieve from the ServletContext. > Is there some way I can "varibalize" the end of those to > match the war file name?

If you just remove the unnecessary attributes from the <Context> element, I think you'll have achieved that goal. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
