Serving mydomain.com, what I have is one application in an unpacked directory, 'app-root', with jsp files located in the root dir or its subdirs. The Host for mydomain.com has its appBase pointing to 'app-root'.
The ROOT.xml for mydomain.com has only one line: <Context path="" docBase="" reloadable="true"/> I read the document on the two attributes appBase and docBase, but it is not very clear to me what the difference is. In my case, what should docBase be?

This looks very much like you have configured appBase == docBase for the ROOT web application. This is likely to cause a world of pain - the behaviour you have seen here being just one example. Try restarting Tomcat and see what happens to your getRealPath() calls... docBase should never be set to the same location as appBase.
