I finally figured out how to build tomcat (which was a lot of fun :) so I could test my change and it worked great. I did not find a bug in the tomcat admin however, only my config files. A fat-fingered entry cause an exception in the admin tool, the problem was that I couldn't see the root exception so troubleshooting was very difficult and the exception that was displayed was not related at all to the problem. Once I rebuilt webapps/admin with the below file I saw the root exception which immediately explained my config problem and told me exactly where to go in my config files, so I highly recommend my fix below.
