What it means is there is a context xml file (typically in 
config/Catalina/localhost, probably subset.xml) that specifies a docBase 
attribute.  That attribute is useful if the webapp is not within 
tomcat's webapps directory, but ignored as redundant when the webapp is 
in the webapps directory.  The message is more or less info level 
logging and does not indicate an error.

Nothing to do with your web.xml file.  Are you having trouble getting 
your servlet to run when you call it?
