You don't explicitly say where your <Context> element is, but the
implication is that it's inside a file named context.xml in your
webapp's META-INF directory.  If that is the case, both the path and
docBase attributes are ignored.  See:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html
Look at the descriptions for the two attributes in question.  The
docBase attribute is intended to provide the location of the webapp, not
a link to external resources.

Tomcat versions after 5.5.9 seem to have tightened up enforcement of the
configuration rules.
