--- Comment #2 from Mark Barnes <mark.bar...@adp.com> --- It works for Tomcat 6 and it worked for Tomcat 5. We're upgrading from 6.0.20 to 8.0.14. The configuration reference does say this: The Application Base directory for this virtual host. This is the pathname of a directory that may contain web applications to be deployed on this virtual host. You may specify an absolute pathname, or a pathname that is relative to the $CATALINA_BASE directory. See Automatic Application Deployment for more information on automatic recognition and deployment of web applications. If not specified, the default of webapps will be used. I get that it does NOT say that appBase="" is the same as not specifying appBase at all. In fact, it doesn't say what appBase="" means. It doesn't say it's invalid, either. So "" is not relative $CATALINA_BASE ??? The Document Base (also known as the Context Root) directory for this web application, or the pathname to the web application archive file (if this web application is being executed directly from the WAR file). You may specify an absolute pathname for this directory or WAR file, or a pathname that is relative to the appBase directory of the owning Host. The value of this field must not be set unless the Context element is defined in server.xml or the docBase is not located under the Host's appBase. If a symbolic link is used for docBase then changes to the symbolic link will only be effective after a Tomcat restart or by undeploying and redeploying the context. A context reload is not sufficient.
