Since I'm currently running something like 70 some odd virtual hosts on one tomcat installation I would really rather not have the manager application deployed on each of those 70 hosts. Each host has only one context (the ROOT context) and after the virtual host is created, it is seldom if ever changed.
Its just really ridiculous that the host-manager doesn't serialize the creation options for the virtual host when it creates it, or that when it auto-deploys a web application on creation, it doesn't create a context.xml that points to the auto-deployed context.
