As you may have noted, I am not a Tomcat expert so you are probably right. But my app logs in catalina.out when it reads its config files, and when I made a symlink in webapps/ to the same webapp it happened just once, while if I create more contexts blocks in server.xml it loads as many times as are the "instances". Another evidence is that the app create a connection pool of 10 connections to an LDAP server, and with the server just started I have exactly 20 established connections , while I was used to only 10 with the old "method". 1) Implement a valve or filter that catches references to the alternate URLs > and redirects or forwards them to the primary. > I am going to study how to accomplish this.
