I haven't found any solutions, but I wrote down what I noticed:
None of my webapps have a corresponding context.xml file in:
$CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/
Neither is there any default context file in:
$CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/context.xml.default
So the only default values are read from:
$CATALINA_BASE/conf/context.xml
When looking at the WEB-INF/web.xml that is shipped with BaseX I notice
it doesn't give the context parameter for:
* restpath
* webpath
Comparing both of my webapps
http://[...]/rest?command=info
I noticed that one has EVENTPORT: 1985 set while the other lacks it
completely,
one has CACHEQUERY: false while the other lacks it completely,
one has MAXHITS: -1 while the other lacks it completely.
Please tell me to stop if you feel I clutter the list. I thought maybe
it helps to share my observations.
Best wishes

I think it has to do with Tomcat webapps' context settings [1]. It
states that there is some kind of default context that will be used if
no other contexts are matched. I'm reading it now and will try some
experimenting.
I also note that my Tomcat setup is not configured for multiple
instances, thus my CATALINA_BASE is the same as CATALINA_HOME.

Hi Kristian,
I previously had BaseX 8.1.1 working as a Tomcat webapp and it all
worked
fine. I know tried to simply put BaseX82.war as another webapp, but the
second webapp seems to connect to the BaseX instance in the first
webapp.
True, same on my machine. It doesn't seem to be due to 8.2. Instead,
Tomcat seems to adopts some options from a running BaseX instance (and
the primary instance might differ after a restart of Tomcat):
http://localhost:8080/BaseX811/rest?query=db:system()
<system>
<generalinformation>
<version>8.1.1</version>
</generalinformation>
<globaloptions>
<dbpath>C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
8.0\webapps\BaseX811\data</dbpath>
...
http://localhost:8080/BaseX82/rest?query=db:system()
<system>
<generalinformation>
<version>8.2</version>
<usedmemory>37 MB</usedmemory>
</generalinformation>
<globaloptions>
<authmethod>Basic</authmethod>
<dbpath>C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
8.0\webapps\BaseX811\data</dbpath>
...
I currently have no idea if this can be fixed in Tomcat or BaseX (I
don't know such a behavior from Jetty), but... I'll try to find out
more.
Christian
