The common web-application and also all it's jars are not shared. You would need to adjust PermGen - basically hike it up appropriately. We have a similar situation. We used this approach of putting webapp outside appbase and pointing docbase to it for each context within individual context.xml files. The reason we did this was because we have another default webapp serving as the root context. This is a solution we would like to avoid. I would like to seek advice on how we might use a non-default webapp serving multiple contexts, but yet have a single copy of the application's classes and it's libraries being loaded into PermGen. > > > > i want to have one instance of webapp, > > which has two paths, > > and each of the paths serves the root of different domains > > > > once again: > > * one webapp > > * has 2 different paths: "/path1" and "/path2" > > * served on 2 domains > > * when user goes to http://path1.com/ -> {webapp}/path1 is served as > root > > path > > * when user goes to http://path2.com/ -> {webapp}/path2 is served as > root > > path > > > > is it possible? > > > > Two different instances of the same webapp at different hosts - easy. > E.g. the manager webapp is deployed in such way to the virtual hosts. > > Sorry, I'm not understanding what you propose. Would this method also share the application and all classes among the different contexts? One instance mapped to different paths - impossible.

I believe this method would share a single copy of the non-default web application, am I correct? Thanks! -Shanti
