Harry,
Thank you for your suggestion. I wasn't aware there was a property by that
name. The documentation does mention a jspwiki_custom.properties file for a
single wiki instance. I tried using that property instead and it worked for
one of my test contexts. I found that it only worked if I unzipped the
JSPWiki.war file into a directory and then pointed docBase at that
directory. If I point it straight at the war file, the
jspwiki.custom.config appears to be ignored. I appear to be able to create
multiple wikis now. I still need to do testing for things like cookies,
authentication/authorization, but that is my next step. Thank you for
responding to my post as I was completely stuck and you definitely got me
unstuck. I wanted to reply with complete details just in case anyone has a
similar issue.
Below is my working Context:
<Context path="/Test" docBase="/wikis/wikis/Test/JSPWiki">
<Parameter name="jspwiki.custom.config"
value="/wikis/wikis/Test/Test.properties"/>
</Context>
I create a context file under %CATALINA_BASE%/conf/Catalina/localhost for
each wiki. Each wiki has its own properties file, pages/attachments
directory, work directory, and log file.
Steps to allow the creation of multiple wikis:
1. Use the "jspwiki.custom.config" parameter instead of the
jspwiki.propertyfile.
2. Unzip the JSPWiki.war file into a directory and point docBase at this
directory (you will need to do this for each wiki that you want to setup)
BONUS: Do you know why it works for a directory but not the war file? I
found other articles with people saying it doesn't work for the war file but
I never found an explanation. I know that war files are unpacked under
webapps but I am not sure why that would prevent the custom parameter from
being applied.
Thank you for all of your help.

Shawn,
shouldn't you use parameter name "jspwiki.custom.config" instead of
"jspwiki.propertyfile"
in your context xml file ?
See:
https://github.com/apache/jspwiki/blob/jspwiki_2_10_2/jspwiki-war/src/main/java/org/apache/wiki/util/PropertyReader.java#L66
kind regards,
Harry
