You can have a context for your application defined in a seperate xml
file but not in the web.xml. If you read the dtd for the web.xml you'll
see that this is not allowed.
Simply copy your context that works and paste into a new xml file, which
has the same name as your webapp.
So if you had your app as test.war, then create test.xml. Put these two
in the webapps directory, it should autodeploy properly without much
hassle. It should work. If it doesn't then restart tomcat.
