If you are using META-INF/context.xml, then the "path" attribute is
definitely illegal/ignored.

I haven't read the Javadoc for Tomcat 8 yet, but I think you want:

   <Loader className="org.spring....Loader" />

Instead of "loaderClass". At least, that's what it would have been for
Tomcat 7.

That's odd.

Anything in the "work" directory? CATALINA_BASE/conf/[Engine]/[Host]/
should be where context.xml files are copied, so .. this definitely
looks fishy.
