Sergey's explanation is good, but just in case any more detail is required in
how to reproduce it, here's the steps I take. Expand a tomcat distribution.
Edit the <tomcat_home>\webapps\root\WEB-INF\web.xml file to become

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee";
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
   xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd";
   version="2.5">
  <display-name>Welcome to Tomcat</display-name>
  <description>
     Welcome to Tomcat
  </description>
  <context-param>
    <param-name>initialDbPath</param-name>
    <param-value>a</param-value>
  </context-param>
</web-app>

then edit <tomcat_home>\conf\context.xml to become

<Context>
    <Parameter name="initialDbPath" value="xyz" override="false"/>
</Context>

then add a new file <tomcat_home>\webapps\ROOT\test.jsp which contains

<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>
<html>
<body>
<br>initialDbPath is : ${initParam.initialDbPath}
</body>
</html>   

The context.xml setting should override the web.xml setting, but this is not
happening
