Context Path in server.xml

We use multiple contexts as part of our server configuration. So far,
the best thing to do in that case is to have a plain-vanilla tomcat
server with the default server.xml. Then let IntelliJ do all the work
for you. This will prevent you from running more than one application
at a time, but everything else works great.

Sorry, this is an old post, but the first thing I saw was the docbase=... does not match the directory where the app is located.
