If the applications are truly separate, you could run them in totally separate appservers, using MakeAppWorkDir.py to create a separate working directory for each application. Just choose different port numbers for the two appservers. There are some advantages -- you can restart one app without restarting the other app, the session stores are totally separate, etc. If you're going to run them in the same appserver, I can't think of a good way to avoid having to hard-code the name of the context into the imports. -- - Geoff Talvola [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
