TomcatManagedConfiguration validates catalinaBase too soon ---------------------------------------------------------- Key: ARQ-1814 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-1814 Project: Arquillian Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: tomcat_1.0.0.CR7 Reporter: Brett Meyer Assignee: Aslak Knutsen Fix For: tomcat_1.0.0.CR8 CATALINA_BASE is only necessary if you're running multiple instances of Tomcat on a single host. If only one instance is running, CATALINA_BASE==CATALINA_HOME. When catalinaBase is not set in arquillian.xml (tomcat 7 managed container), you get the following NPE. TomcatManagedContainer could probably assume CATALINA_BASE==CATALINA_HOME if CATALINA_BASE is not explicitly set. {code} org.jboss.arquillian.container.spi.client.container.LifecycleException: Could
