--- Comment #1 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
Looking at the history of that file, the docBase was always meant to be
absolute. Saying it could be relative is a Javadoc bug added (by me) as part of
the fix for bug 57723. I'll get the Javadoc corrected.

I did look at the possibility of supporting a relative path but that begs the
question "Relative to what?". CATALINA_BASE isn't an option as that is
(usually) created dynamically when using the Tomcat class. Using current
directory is too fragile for my liking.
