I got the feeling after a while that I was trying to be too strict about that idea and it's nice to have somebody else mention that. >> * Tomcat's server.xml file has a host declaration for each webapp >> and a declaration for localhost (though that is not necessary) >> <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" /> > I would remove the <Host> entry for localhost, since, as someone else > pointed out, its appBase points to a parent directory of the other > <Host>s, and this is at best bad practice and confusing, even if not > necessarily causing errors. Good idea. I have no good reason for leaving it there other than the fact that it was there previously. >> * Being able to include the manager app for each host that I define. > I don't have a problem doing this.

I was able to get this to work as well. For some reason, when I manually created the conf/Catalina/[host] directory and placed the manager.xml file in there before I restarted tomcat, I was getting odd problems in not being able to deploy my app. When I placed the manager.xml file in there after I had the app up and running, I had no problems with the manager app conflicting with my other app. Thanks again for everybody's help on this -- I feel like I've finally made progress on this issue and have a better understanding for how things work.
