Apache Tomcat context.xml files

In all the Apache documentation, I can't find a very lucid explanation of, especially the distinctions between, the two context.xml files in the installation (of Tomcat 9):

  • conf/context.xml (I'm not talking about this file in this question.)
  • webapps/manager/META-INF/context.xml
  • webapps/host-manager/META-INF/context.xml

particularly since the last two come identical before we modify them.

"manager" and "host-manager" are just two default web applications shipped with Tomcat.

And each of them has the their own configuration (context.xml)
