Actually, having the path attribute is more flexible. You can then
specify something like /a/b/c which you cannot do with a filename.

You were o.k. up to that point. The path attribute must not be used;
instead, insure that the name of the file containing your <Context>
element is the path you wish to use for your webapp. Recent versions of
Tomcat got rid of the redundancy and ambiguity of the path attribute.
