--- Comment #2 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> --- Generally, Tomcat doesn't prevent valid but potentially foolish configuration settings. Such "protection" would add a significant amount of bloat to the codebase and, given the size and diversity of the install base, probably break some unusual but intended usage. In this case: - the default of "webapps" is reasonable - the behaviour of a blank value *is* documented (treated as path relative to $CATALINA_BASE) - each deployed directory is logged on Tomcat start Given all of the above, and despite the alarmist tone of the original report, I'm leaning towards resolving this as WONTFIX. I might be persuaded to support logging a waring if appBase == $CATALINA_BASE but given all the other possible appBase values that could have similar concerns I'm not seeing a need to treat this as a special case. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
