The tomcat itself cannot work when it is started with an empty or invalid $CB. Unfortunately, the IDE allows to add such an instance to the server registry. After that many things is broken - it doesn't make sense to describe it all here. It would be great having a simple test when adding a tomcat instance which would check is the $CB has all mandatory files.
