Thanks Mikolaj. I'm going to try out having multiple appBases and deploy as the ROOT in each. I haven't tried that yet.
As a side question, is this possible to do without modifying the server.xml file every time I want to add a new host? I've read that it's bad practice to modify the server.xml file much like it's bad practice to modify the httpd.conf file in Apache. In Apache, I have a vhost directory with .conf files for each host -- is there a similar method to do this with Tomcat?

I'd like to have a single server with multiple one-to-one domainname-to-webapp apps running in Tomcat such that I can hot deploy one webapp in Tomcat without affecting the other webapps. > > Apache VirtualHost -- Tomcat webapp location > foo.mydomain.com -- webapps/foo > bar.mydomain.com -- webapps/bar > eggs.mydomain.com -- webapps/eggs > I think it is possible to achieve this using various mod_rewrite / mod_proxy directives, e.i. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypassreverse On the other hand, it is very easy to add another Host elements to Tomcat's server.xml file: default entry: <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"/> another vhosts: <Host name="foo.mydomain.com" appBase="/some/path/foo" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"/> <Host name="bar.mydomain.com" appBase="/some/path/bar" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"/> <Host name="eggs.mydomain.com" appBase="/some/path/eggs" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"/> and deploy your apps in ROOT contexts. -- Mikolaj Rydzewski <[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]
