That's because you don't seem to understand the function of appBase: it doesn't
point to a single webapp, it points to a *directory* under which each of your
webapps is installed. For example, the single <Host> in the default Tomcat
config is $CATALINA_HOME/webapps, and under webapps, you'll find ROOT, manager,
docs, examples, etc.
You appear to have placed your webapp named Proofs under the default <Host>'s
appBase, and everything works as expected. To use the webapp under the appBase
of the ft.com <Host>, place the Proofs directory (or .war file) under the
declared C:\FilterTest directory:
C:\FilterTest\
Proofs\
WEB-INF\
lib\
classes\
META-INF\
context.xml
etc.
> <filter-mapping>
> <filter-name>FileAccessFilter</filter-name>
> <url-pattern>/Proofs/*</url-pattern>
> </filter-mapping>
The <url-pattern> must not include the context name; it should really be just
/*.
