An empty appBase is asking for trouble.

>   <Context path="/" ...>

This is an invalid path setting.  To quote from section 3.5 of the servlet
spec:

Context Path: The path prefix associated with the ServletContext that this
Servlet is a part of. If this context is the "default" context rooted at the
base of the Web server's URL name space, this path will be an empty string.
Otherwise, if the context is not rooted at the root of the server's name space,
the path starts with a / character but does not end with a / character.

You need to correct your configuration.  The fact that something useful
happened in prior versions is an accident.
