That version is over three years old and does not include copyXML in a <Con=
text> element.  Not keeping up with current releases opens your website up =
to attacks fixed in later versions.

As you should.

You can set copyXML in the <Host> element if you insist on running old soft=
ware.

Which may or may not be correct, since third-party distributions often cher=
ry-pick changes to include, along with generally corrupting the standard To=
mcat file layout.

I strongly recommend that you deinstall the Debian package and use a curren=
t, real Tomcat from tomcat.apache.org.
