The question's more of a general one to help me understand some elements in server.xml. Maybe I'll start with this question first, though:
If you somehow have multiple contexts (within the same Host or Service, or within different ones in your Tomcat instance) that point to the same WAR file or docBase, are there multiple "instances" of that web application running, or are the multiple entry points to that application (based on it being specified in multiple hosts) really pointing to the same instance of that webapp? If this doesn't make sense, I can clarify. Thanks.
