And then there are optional files like context.xml? Are all of the other files also optional and completely overwrite settings like tomcat-users.xml or only some? I have confirmed that adding only web.xml alone resolves the issue completely. I no longer get 404's and the application works. But I would like to further understand this as much as possible to document it for my customers.

How to *properly* create and use a CATALINA_BASE installation
Hi, What $CATALINA_HOME/conf/ files should be copied into $CATALINA_BASE?
