Solved.

That was it. After copying over the conf/web.xml into myapp-base/conf, the
app now works.

The REALLY embarrassing thing is that I just asked about this on Nov 15,
2021 and even after taking notes about it, I failed to include the web.xml
in my notes.

How have you configured your %CATALINA_BASE% directory?

That's unfortunate.  It would be so much nicer if it was a simple one-liner.

Thanks.

I have confirmed that also copying logging.properties results in a
logs/catalina.2023-02-01.log file being created.

For posterity (mostly for me actually), the complete procedure for creating
a proper CATALINA_BASE is the following:

Directories that need to be created in CATALINA_BASE are:

bin
conf
logs
work
webapps
temp

Files that need to be copied from CATALINA_HOME\conf to CATALINA_BASE\conf
are:

server.xml
tomcat-users.xml
web.xml
catalina.properties
context.xml
logging.properties

A minimal bin/run.sh for Linux might look like:

#!/bin/sh

export JRE_HOME=/usr/local/java11
export CATALINA_HOME=/path/to/tomcat10
export CATALINA_BASE=/path/to/myapp-base

${CATALINA_HOME}/bin/catalina.sh run "$@"

A minimal bin\run.bat for Windows might look like:

setlocal

set "JRE_HOME=C:\tmp\java17"
set "CATALINA_HOME=C:\tmp\tomcat10"
set "CATALINA_BASE=C:\tmp\myapp-base"

%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\catalina.bat start

It is configured with logging.properties file, and your configuration is missing
catalina.properties
context.xml
logging.properties

files that are required for proper operation.
