You should consider the use of <Context> in server.xml as merely a
migration mechanism from older Tomcat versions.  The path attribute has
to be used in this situation, since there is no other means of
determining the application name.  For the other two cases, the
application name is derivable from either the location or the name of
the .xml file.

You simply shouldn't have a <Context> tag in server.xml (see above).

I suspect that your app has actually been deployed twice - once for each
of the <Context> instances you have.  I believe the normal way of
handling a single app that you want to use under multiple path names is
to have trivial secondary apps that merely forward requests to the real
one.  (Others may have better solutions, since I primarily work on the
inside of the JVM, not on J2EE apps.)
