Hassan, I was able to set up the 2 projects per your instructions.
This set up is definitely a time-saver in my situation. Thank you very much for your help. -Rashmi ----- Original Message ---- From: Hassan Schroeder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Tomcat Users List <users@tomcat.apache.org> Sent: Thursday, November 9, 2006 2:35:52 PM Subject: Re: Switching between 2 projects, each setup at Tomcat's ROOT context deletes the source folder of the 2nd project.

Of course you can. Let's say your current hostname is "hawaii". You have an entry in your hosts file like 192.168.10.20 hawaii So you add another name after that, maybe 192.168.10.20 hawaii maui Now you create two Host elements in your Tomcat's server.xml, one for each hostname, with appBase entries something like webapps/hawaii and webapps/maui. Now you install your two apps as ROOT in their respective directories, and you're good to go. Believe me, this is not rocket science, and having multiple aliased hosts on your desktop can simplify a developer's life immensely. :-) -- Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
