Is this possible using WTP?

Barry,

You can add it to the <Context> element in the server.xml of the Tomcat
configuration under the Servers project of your workspace.
Alternatively, you can include it in the <Context> element in a
META-INF/context.xml in the WebContent folder of your project. The
later approach has the advantage of not getting lost if you remove and
re-add your project to a Tomcat server.

Cheers,
Larry

So even though WTP will dynamically create a server.xml when tomcat
starts with a <Context> element, the META-INF/context.xml will get
merged in with that, or replaced?

The child elements of the <Context> in META-INF/context.xml will replace
any found in the <Context> present in server.xml found under the Servers
project. Attributes of <Context> from context.xml will be copied to the
the <Context> that comes from server.xml, excluding "path" and
"docBase". I think that's basically how its handled, though I might be
forgetting some minor detail.
