Yep. If there is a WAR file, Tomcat will deploy from that. If there is no META-INF/context.xml in the WAR then Tomcat uses the defaults. It will not go looking in the expanded directory. However, if the context.xml file was placed in CATALINA_BASE/conf/<engine name>/<host name> then it should take effect.
