Make a directory under /home/tomcat - call it Apps (probably too generic, but you get the idea). Now copy abc.war into that directory. Then you'll create two context.xml files. Call one abc.xml Call the other xyz.xml In both abc.xml and xyz.xml, specify the complete path to abc.war as the docBase - like this (using the layout above) <Context docBase="/home/tomcat/Apps/abc.war"> <!-- any other stuff --> </Context> Now copy both of these xml files to $CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost/ More properly: $CATALINA_BASE/conf/[Engine name]/[Host name]/ where [Engine name] is the name attribute from the Engine element in server.xml, and Host name is the name attribute from the Host element in server.xml. I haven't tried this, but I don't see why it shouldn't work. The basis for this can be found here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html . . . just my two cents (and no coffee) /mde/
