Use include elements, variables, and Ref tags in configuration files

We can keep all the configuration settings in a single server.xml file, or we can use include elements to consolidate configuration settings from separate files. Use variables to avoid hardcoding inappropriate values when the configuration is reused in different environments. We can use Ref tags to refer to (and thereby reuse) existing code blocks defined elsewhere in the configuration.
