Tomcat is doing exactly what you have configured it to do. There is no Tomcat bug here, just user error. With a context.xml file named TestApp#web.xml you have a defined a new web application with a context path of "/TestApp/web" and a docBase of "C:\web" The URL pattern therefore needs to be "/*" If you want to mount "C:\web" inside an existing web application using the path "/web" then you need to define a PreResources or PostResources element using the org.apache.catalina.webresources.DirResourceSet implementation. See http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/resources.html for more details.
