Description

CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE are not always the same thing. It's possibly for Tomcat itself to be deployed in CATALINA_HOME and specific applications to be deployed in CATALINA_BASE. This is the case in Apache Bigtop. The Tomcat binaries are installed in /usr/lib/bigtop-tomcat (CATALINA_HOME), and specific applications are installed in /usr/lib/sqoop, etc... (CATALINA_BASE).

There's a bug where CATALINA_HOME is being used as the value for CATALINA_BASE - which is not a safe assumption (especially in Bigtop).
