I moved the <context/> that was in server.xml into a file named
C:\Projects\myapp\build\WEB-INF\contextConfigFile.xml.  With the cotext tag
I set path="/myapp" and docBase="C:\Projects\myapp\build", but this doesn't
work for me:

http://localhost:8080/manager/install?war=file://C:\Projects\myapp\build\WEB
-INF\contextConfigFile.xml&path=/myapp

The manager application reports that:
OK - Installed application at context path /peoplefinder
But when I go to http://localhost:8080/myapp/ I get:
HTTP Status 404, The requested resource (/myapp/) is not available.

Any ideas?  Does anyone else use a context config file?  It is new to me.

I liked putting the server specific resources in the server.xml file.  Does
the context config file have to be apart of the *.war?  Does it matter where
it is?  Where can I find more information on context config files?

Thanks a bunch for the lead.
