let tomcat deploy automaticly with a context

I have a project named 'projectx'. My goal is to execute mvn clean install and let Tomcat use the /target folder to autodeploy the webapp.

I added projectx.xml with the following contents to /tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context docBase="C:\Users\Username\workspace\projectx-webapp\target" path="/projectx-webapp"/>

I can see in the server log the file projectx.xml is processed succesfully. The webapp is deployed successfully. The site url is localhost:8080/projectx-webapp/ .However when I go to the url, the webapp is not found.

When I deploy the war file manually in tomcat\webapps, the webapp works fine when I go to the specified url. Did I missconfigure something in projectx.xml?

my web.xml:

<web-app id="projectx-webapp" version="2.4"
    xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

As we have verified in the chat, your application are working well the problem is that the context used by the app was /projectx instead of /projectx-webapp that you expected.

This happened because for specify the deployment directory you has created the file apache-tomcat-8.0.30\conf\Catalina\localhost\projectx.xml when you has changed this to apache-tomcat-8.0.30\conf\Catalina\localhost\projectx-webapp.xml the app was deployed with the context you expected /projectx-webapp
