Okay, found where the problem lied. I started tomcat using the startup.sh file, that created the correct CATALINA_HOME env for the instance, but did not set it as global env in my .bashrc. the env was just not set, thus empty. Once i set this env, it worked. So, it seems that there is a problem with environment variables for the application started by Tomcat, as they don't have the same environment variables. (what should be normal)
tomcat-users.xml
