I use latest 6.0 SVN snapshot. I store deployable WARs in "webapps-dist" (aside "webapps"). This is my setup: bash-3.2$ ls $CATALINA_BASE conf logs temp tomcat-dist webapps webapps-dist work bash-3.2$ ls webapps-dist sample.war bash-3.2$ cat conf/Catalina/localhost/sample.xml <Context docBase="${catalina.base}/webapps-dist/sample.war"/> this ends up in: WARNUNG: A docBase /home/juergen/java/tomcat/webapps-dist/sample.war inside the host appBase has been specified, and will be ignored
Created attachment 20359 [details] fix docBase starting with same prefix as appBase
The patch has been applied to trunk and proposed for 6.0.x. Sorry it took so long to get to this.
This was fixed in r677709 and was included in 6.0.18 onwards
