Virtual Hosts and Context Path Question

I am running Apache Stronghold with Virtual Hosts and Tomcat 3.1

I am using Named Hosts and have www.a.com and www.b.com both pointing to the same IP address.

Now when I go to http://www.a.com I want my DoucmentRoot to point to /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat/webapps/A_APP/index.jsp

But I also have to modify the Context Path = "" in server.xml to point to webapps/MYAPP

Now suppose I want http://www.b.com to point to /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat/webapps/B_APP/index.jsp, I would need

to also set the Context path = "" ?

How can I go about doing this ?

Or If I have virtual hosts using the same Tomcat Server, then do I need to keep all my jsp stuff in different contexts and

Set up an alias in each virtual host = Context Path ?

So when I want to serve up jsp pages for site A I say http://www.a.com/siteAjsp/myapp.jsp

And when I want to serve up jsp pages for site B I say http://www.b.com/siteBjsp/myapp.jsp

Where siteAjsp , siteBjsp etc all have to be unique aliases/context-paths combinations.

NameVirtualHost 192.168.5.100

ServerName www.a.com

DocumentRoot "/home/a"

Alias /siteAjsp "/usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/webapps/siteAjsp"

ApJServMount /siteAjsp/servlet /siteAjsp

.....

</Location>

</Virtual Host> <<<<<<<<<<<< For this Host in server.xml Context path="/siteAjsp" docbase = "webapps/siteAjsp"

ServerName www.b.com

DocumentRoot "/home/a"

Alias /siteBjsp "/usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/webapps/siteBjsp"

ApJServMount /siteBjsp/servlet /siteBjsp

.....

</Location>

</Virtual Host> <<<<<<<<<<<< For this Host in server.xml Context path="/siteBjsp" docbase = "webapps/siteBjsp"

Thanks
