Having the option to do per-host and even per-context configs makes life much easier for admins of servers that support it. Otherwise, you end up with a file that looks like:
<jk-config>
&host1;
&host2;
&host3;
</jk-config>
which is fine for xml-hackers, but not very helpful for server-admins.


Yes, that's true, but that same layz admin still has to make the Tomcat
running, or not?
It still has to learn that server.xml stuff, and even make it working :)

Who ever asked the poor apache admin about the TC's config ater all?


It really does not matter who the admin is. Even a sophisticated admin is going to want to have file modification dates they can trust on various aspects of the configuration so they can answer "did I change this part?" questions.

Using a modular multi-XML-file approach does not pollute the result with any additional server-specific or Tomcat-specific baggage. It just makes management and automated configuration/installation much more workable.
