Yes, it does look like an Ant macro. Maybe they share the same macro
expansion code.
I installed a Sun JVM and Tomcat from Apache's web site on another
machine, and have had no problems with this. I moved the Tomcat tree
to another location, and it continued to work.
Where is the macro ${catalina.home} defined? How does this macro
propagate to the context in which Tomcat reads web.xml?
Is there any way to prepare a test case for this stuff?
