Is this expected behaviour? Will the global web.xml not be picked up in the deployment scenario where CATALINA_HOME (tomcat installation) and CATALINA_BASE (webapp home) are not the same?
The relevant log line:
22-Jul-2018 20:36:29.504 INFORMATION [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.getDefaultWebXmlFragment No global web.xml found
The complete startup log. The servlet "default" is not found because it is defined in the global web.xml. <my-app-dir> redacted by me.
