1) -Duser.dir=/tmp is a wrong way to set that property. The correct way is to
perform "cd /tmp" when launching Tomcat.

2) I guess that the issue would happen when some directory in
$CATALINA_BASE/webapps/testapp/WEB-INF/classes  is not readable. The "user.dir"
property value is irrelevant.

Why would you have an unreadable directory in such a place among your classes?
Is there a valid reason for that?

What if skipped directory contains something important, e.g. a @WebFilter?
I think it is OK to fail fatally and refuse to start such a misconfigured
application.
