Yeah, I know. Updating it is on my todo list. I'm running 10.1.13 elsewhere, but I have a lot of changes to make getting to 10.x.x so I've been kicking that can down the road.

I have a top-level organization which would be like: $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/GrandWaterBuffalo/ Then subordinate to that would be sub-orgs like: $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/GrandWaterBuffalo/districtA $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/GrandWaterBuffalo/districtB $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/GrandWaterBuffalo/districtC etc. Perhaps 30+ at this level. Then sub-orgs for each of these like: $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/GrandWaterBuffalo/districtA/Chapter1 $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/GrandWaterBuffalo/districtA/Chapter2 $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/GrandWaterBuffalo/districtA/Chapter3 etc. Probably around 10-ish "Chapters" per District. As you can see, this could result in many webapps. I was trying not to put them all under one $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ directory level, but your example effectively does that. So, no way around this? What do hosting sites do that may have several hundred webapps for different customers? Just put everything under $CATALINA_HOME/webapps?
