 Thanks for the bug report.

Is is possible to get a stack trace of that exception (level='finer' should give that information.)

The issue is a security-related one. Because the host root directory generally has sensitive data (like log files), any web-app must be a sub directory under the root (otherwise anyone might be able to browse the host.)

From the configuration, I can't see the <web-app> with a directory in the host's own root-directory, but it may be in a <host-default> or <cluster-default>.

 Hmm. I guess its not a fatal error because this is all the info I get when changing to finer level logging

 I just noticed that the war is being expanded into /usr/local/resin/ROOT
