Ok, so I tried to remove the docBase. Made no > difference whatsoever. Please excuse the brief digression into the Ant world, but it is about building WAR files for Tomcat... Another gotcha I found when putting together my Ant war-build scripts is that initially I just created a (working) web app on my development machine file system and then "zipped" that all up into a WAR file using the Ant WAR task. However, I discovered after much fiddling and googling that you can't just zip in the "special" folders (WEB-INF, META-INF, WEB-INF/lib etc.) you have to exclude them from the files being zipped into the WAR file and then specify the files to go into them via the <lib ..> <metainf ..> and <webinf ..> enclosed tags. Never worked out what structural difference this made to the WAR file, since it looked the same as my previous ones when I unzipped it, but functionally it made the difference between it working and not working with Tomcat (WRT auto-deploy anyway). Check your Ant documentation of the WAR task for details.
