Webapp not accessible when setting CATALINA_BASE

[Michael <mi...@idtect.com>]

I have tried Tomcat 4.0.4 and 4.1.9 beta to see if that made a
difference but I get the same end result:  When I   set my CATALINA_BASE
to be a directory other than CATALINA_HOME, my webapp is not accessible.
I know my web.xml is loading and my servlets (struts and my own custom
servlets) are initialized, but when I try to access any URL in the
webapp I get 404 errors.  I've tried both JDK 1.4.1beta & 1.3.1.  In the
logfile there are no errors:

2002-08-21 15:04:33 StandardContext[/oemserver]: Starting filters
2002-08-21 15:04:33 timerservlet: init
2002-08-21 15:04:33 action: init

2002-08-21 15:04:34 HostConfig[localhost]: BACKGROUND THREAD Starting
2002-08-21 15:04:49 HostConfig[localhost]: Deploying discovered web
applications

I see the output in console from my timerservlet so I know everything is
OK there.  I then try to access the URL:

HTTP Status 404 - /oemserver/login.jsp
type Status report
message /oemserver/login.jsp
description The requested resource (/oemserver/login.jsp) is not
available.
Apache Tomcat/4.1.9

I look in the access log file:

2002-08-21 15:01:18 StandardHost[localhost]: Mapping request URI

match2002-08-21 15:01:20 HostConfig[localhost]: Deploying discovered web
applications

This part is confusing:

2002-08-21 15:01:18 StandardContext[/oemserver]:   Trying exact match
2002-08-21 15:01:18 StandardContext[/oemserver]:   Trying prefix match
2002-08-21 15:01:18 StandardContext[/oemserver]:   Trying extension
match
2002-08-21 15:01:18 StandardContext[/oemserver]:   Trying default match

I don't know what that means.  But overall, there are no obvious errors
and it does not work.  If I set my CATALINA_BASE back to the same as
CATALINA_HOME, and pass the -config parameter (with the path to my
server.xml file) it works.

At this point I think I've stumbled upon a bug.  I would appreciate any
help anyone may have for this.
