I need to add the following file to my Tomcat's '/conf' directory:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context useHttpOnly="false" path="/bbc">
    <Realm className="com.bbc.tomcat.BBCSecurityRealm"/>
</Context>

After adding this file, I get the following error when Tomcat starts up"

ERROR ecmdefault util.digester.Digester 18:37:14,477 localhost-startStop-1 : Parse Fatal Error at line 1 column 1: Content is not allowed in prolog.

I had a similar issue but this reference link provided the solution spot on.

Quote from the article.

Any characters before the start of the XML content will cause above error.
