Defining a context in Tomcat 5.5.4

Question

I've just setup tomcat 5.5.4 with a plan to migrate my webapps to it from tomcat 5.0.16.
However, under tomcat 5.0.16, you could specifiy a separate xml file in the catalina/localhost folder which held your webapps context info.
Doing this under tomcat 5.5.4 just doesn't seem to work, and I've had to go back to the 'old' tomcat 4 way of adding the <context> directly into the server.xml file, which when cut and paste, works perfectly.
So am I missing something, or did they decide to revert to that mechanism ?

Ok, I thought that link looked familiar, but it still doesn't help..
Here is my <context>.. this works perfectly under 5.0 as a separate xml file in the catalina/localhost folder, but under 5.5, I can only get this context to load by adding it directly to the server.xml...
     <Context path="" docBase="D:\dev\Projects\newk00l\website\games\" reloadable="true" crossContext="false">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
prefix="localhost_k00l_log." suffix=".txt"
     timestamp="true"/>
<Resource name="jdbc/netk00lextreme" auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/k00l_extreme?autoReconnect=true"
username="myusername" password="mypassword" maxActive="20" maxIdle="10" maxWait="-1"/>
     </Context>
