Yea, I know, I saw that note. It's in the Host element description but
references to $CATALINA_HOME (which should be $CATALINA_BASE) are all over
the place -- not just under Host documentation.
What's more, a reader could easily think that the note you mentioned *only*
referred to the Host element description since it says, The description
below
IMHO, instead of asking the reader to do a mental substitution I think the
documentation should be updated s.t. it uses $CATALINA_BASE when
$CATALINA_BASE is appropriate. This documentation anomaly has bothered me
for a long time and I felt I needed to mention it.

Subject: ?? Yet Another Tomcat Documentation Bug ??
The first bullet point starts out: Any XML file in the
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/[engine_name]/[host_name] directory is assumed...
I believe this should say, Any XML file in the
$CATALINA_BASE/conf/[engine_name]/[host_name] directory is assumed...
Is that right? It's another typo, right?
There's a fairly prominent note at the introduction to the host element:
The description below uses the variable name $CATALINA_HOME to refer to the
directory into which you have installed Tomcat 5, and is the base directory
against which most relative paths are resolved. However, if you have
configured Tomcat 5 for multiple instances by setting a CATALINA_BASE
directory, you should use $CATALINA_BASE instead of $CATALINA_HOME for each
of these references.
