Hello Andrew,

your 'context' tag is missing the attributes 'docbase' and 'path'.

It should look like this:

 <Context docbase="webapps/myapp.war" path="/myapp">
  <!-- Db connection -->
  <Resource
   name="jdbc/wdcc"
   auth="Container"
   [...]

This should pointing it to the directory where your context.xml file
resides.

If this does not work either, you could try to set the fields 'WAR or
Directory URL' or 'XML configurations URL' when deploying your
application using the Tomcat Manager.


Kind regards
Sebastian Gerdes
