Thanks, Mark, for the clarification. Manually unpacking the WAR file is 
what I am doing instead.

Hi

 From the Tomcat v7.0.12 changelog [1] :

appBase. (markt) 
Why? Couldnt find any issue or other trace relating to this fix...

Because (as per the docs) WARs outside the appBase aren't meant to be unpacked. 
There is no bug number since I found the issue while testing something else and 
just fixed it.


Background: This fix broke our deployment of Sonatype's Nexus (OSS
version) when upgrading to Tomcat v7.0.12: Nexus can only be run in
unpacked mode, and the webapp was located outside appBase in our setup.

Then Nexus is badly broken. No app should require that.

As a workaround, manually unpack it or put the WAR in Tomcat's appBase and have 
Tomcat unpack it.
