Note the way you have configured the path attribute in the Context element.
<snip>
   <Context path="" docBase="site1" debug="0" >
</snip>

Tomcat uses this "path" attribute to create the folders. For the "" path,
it creates a "_" folder. The other two folders (site1 & site2) are created
because they happened to exist under your webapps (see auto deployment of
web application). Now the compiled jsp's go under "_" because the "path"
attribute dictates it. This is also how you access your website - http://
site1.myserver.com and http://site2.myserver.com

As an experiment, change the path to some other name say "rich" and you'll
have a rich folder instead of "_". Also the access URL will change to
http://site1.myserver.com/rich

Subject:    Extra folders in tomcat/work

Greetings gurus

I have tomcat 4.0.3 connected to apache 2.0.36 using mod-jk.  There are
2 Virtual Hosts, site1 and site2, configured in server.xml:

<Host name="site1.myserver.com" debug="0" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="false">
...
   <Context path="" docBase="site1" debug="0" >

And

<Host name="site2.myserver.com" debug="0" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="false">
...
   <Context path="" docBase="site2" debug="0" >

In my webapps folder are two folders: site1 and site2.

When tomcat starts, it creates two folders in /work: site1.myserver.com
and site2.myserver.com
But in each of these it creates a site1 folder and site2 folder as well
as the '_' folder where all of the compiled .jsp's go.  Nothing goes in
the site1 folder and site2 folder.

I am wondering what is wrong with my configuration that causes this.
Otherwise, the sites work as expected.

Thanks in advance,

Richard Haber
