Charles,
Looking back you are correct. With all my confusion that clearly did
not register as I could plainly see it the host section of my server .xml.
You guys have a lot of patience with a guy like me and I shouldn't post
with such ignorance. I'm inheriting this project from the one who design
it. It clearly has flaws in it's config. I have to go back a spend some
time
on the Tomcat doc site and gain some expertise in Tomcat.
Thanks again for your patience.
-P

Subject: Re: Tomcat Filter Mapping Issue
To solve it, I simply removed the docBase="" from the <Host> ?
Note that we mentioned an empty docBase was illegal quite some time ago.
You should not have *any* <Context> elements in server.xml. Whatever
you've been reading that suggested you do so is sadly out of date, or
flat-out wrong. Again, use the real Tomcat doc, not 3rd-party
scribblings.
it's ok not to have a docBase ?
There is always a docBase; but when the <Context> elements are properly
located, it's calculated automatically from the location of the webapp.
For Tomcat versions starting with 5.0.x, the proper place to put your
<Context> elements is in each app's META-INF/context.xml file. When doing
so, the path and docBase attributes must be omitted. An alternate
location for <Context> elements is in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml,
and again the path attribute must be omitted. You *may* use the docBase
attribute in this latter case, but only if the webapp is located outside
of the <Host> appBase directory.
Again, post your server.xml and we'll show you what to fix.
