Seemed like a good idea at the time? If you look inside Tomcat, you'll see that it's a set of nested containers, with <Server> being the top one, and <Service> the next layer. You might want to use multiple <Service> elements if you want to run a single JVM with independent servlet engines inside (think embedded controller, where the number of processes is limited). > (1) By dropping a copy in each of the different Host/@appBase? This is probably the best, since it allows independent updating of the .war file for each <Host>. > (2) By having all three Host/@appBase point to the same location > (and then of course put the WAR there)? This appears to work, but each <Host> will be monitoring the same locations for changes (assuming autoDeploy is true), and there might be some timing issues. > (3) By some other means? By placing a second_world.xml file in each of the conf/Catalina/[host] directories, with the <Context> element therein having a docBase attribute pointing to the actual location of the .war file. This is pretty much equivalent to #2, except you can tailor the <Context> element for each <Host>, if needed. Regardless, your webapp will be deployed once for each <Host>. If you don't want that, just use a single <Host>, and let it field requests for all of alpha, beta, and gamma. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
