Guys, as the original poster of this thread I'd like to thank all concerned for the valuable contributions.
I've learned that a single WAR can be used by creating conf/catalina/localhost/<context>.xml files with the docBase pointing to a fully qualified path outside of the webapps location... and that I can apply RemoteAccess valves at that level. So in one way I'm happy, but it has revealed another issue which I need to get round... How to have a servlet mapping the same as the context name? I want http://localhost/<context> to invoke my servlet by default. I've tried with "/" and "/<context>" as the mapping but neither work. "/*" overrides JSP servlet which I also need. It seems all servlet mappings are relative to the context. Maybe I'm missing something simple? -----Original Message----- From: Johnny Kewl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 22 June 2007 18:22 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Multiple Contexts from single WAR Talking to David.... he's doing it yet another way.

The procedure I outlined requires only replication of the [appname].xml file for each app - no multiple copies of the .war, no configuration, no other fiddling around.
