Hello!
I previously had BaseX 8.1.1 working as a Tomcat webapp and it all worked fine. I know tried to simply put BaseX82.war as another webapp, but the second webapp seems to connect to the BaseX instance in the first webapp.
For example: the address http://tomcat.myhost.ee/BaseX82/rest/ lists all the databases that are in http://tomcat.myhost.ee/BaseX811/ even though the new BaseX82 instance should be empty.
I have problems understanding if this concerns BaseX configuration or Tomcat configuration... Which files should I check? Looking at the both's webapps' WEB-INF/web.xml they seem logically fine to me.
Best regards Kristian K
Hi Kristian,

True, same on my machine. It doesn't seem to be due to 8.2. Instead, Tomcat seems to adopts some options from a running BaseX instance (and the primary instance might differ after a restart of Tomcat):
http://localhost:8080/BaseX811/rest?query=db:system()
<system> <generalinformation> <version>8.1.1</version> </generalinformation> <globaloptions> <dbpath>C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 8.0\webapps\BaseX811\data</dbpath> ...
http://localhost:8080/BaseX82/rest?query=db:system()
<system> <generalinformation> <version>8.2</version> <usedmemory>37 MB</usedmemory> </generalinformation> <globaloptions> <authmethod>Basic</authmethod> <dbpath>C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 8.0\webapps\BaseX811\data</dbpath> ...
I currently have no idea if this can be fixed in Tomcat or BaseX (I don't know such a behavior from Jetty), but... I'll try to find out more.

I think it has to do with Tomcat webapps' context settings [1]. It states that there is some kind of default context that will be used if no other contexts are matched. I'm reading it now and will try some experimenting.
I also note that my Tomcat setup is not configured for multiple instances, thus my CATALINA_BASE is the same as CATALINA_HOME.
Cheers Kristian

I haven't found any solutions, but I wrote down what I noticed:
None of my webapps have a corresponding context.xml file in: $CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/
Neither is there any default context file in: $CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/context.xml.default
So the only default values are read from: $CATALINA_BASE/conf/context.xml
When looking at the WEB-INF/web.xml that is shipped with BaseX I notice it doesn't give the context parameter for: * restpath * webpath
Comparing both of my webapps http://%5B...%5D/rest?command=info I noticed that one has EVENTPORT: 1985 set while the other lacks it completely, one has CACHEQUERY: false while the other lacks it completely, one has MAXHITS: -1 while the other lacks it completely.
Please tell me to stop if you feel I clutter the list. I thought maybe it helps to share my observations.
Best wishes Kristian
