Hello, If my idea was only as simple as renaming it to ROOT.war (this one I know of):) Basic what I want is the same functionality which google apps provides. So I want to be able to have multiple versions of my application online, let people try the new environment and eventually switch the root context to the new running version. This enables my clients to try out the new version and options before they switch over to the new environment and enables me to fix bugs found in the new release.
I think I need a tunnelfilter or something for this, but maybe there's something available already. I've looked at parallel deployment, but this is mostly to serve the current users the version they are currently using. Cheers, Dennie 2012/9/4 chris derham <ch...@derham.me.uk> > I am new to Tomcat.
