The piece of xml you posted looks like something from $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml file. This file contains some default configuration that is applied to all web applications and you usually don't change it.
What you need to find is the /WEB-INF directory of your web application. /WEB-INF directory resides in the root directory of your web application. This directory is also called Context Root / Document Base - its the directory that contains all files of your app. You usually put spring config files in the /WEB-INF directory of your web application. It doesn't matter where individual applications are on the disk (where their Context Root / Document Base directories are). Applications can be in $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps, or in some other directories anywhere on the filesystem. To figure out where your application's Context Root / Document Base is you can do this: 1. use find to search for WEB-INF directories on your filesystem 2. find your Tomcat's instance conf directory ($TOMCAT_HOME/conf) and go trough the config files there: first look at server.xml - look for <Host> elements and see if it has a appBase attribute defined. Then check if the <Host> element has any <Context> child elements. If it does, their docBase attribute points to document base of an application. If you don't find it there, look for subdirectories in conf directory - for example there might be subdirectories Catalina/localhost that contain individual application xml config files. Those files also contain <Context> elements - look for their docBase attribute.
