Michael and Chris, thanks a lot for your valuable help. I'm going to try this ASAP. The "multi instance" Tomcat seems really interesting. Thanks again!

It looks like what to have more than one webapp as the "root webapp". My suggestion would be to run each webapp in a different instance of Tomcat. It's much easier than you think is it to do this. I use Tomcat 4.1.x, but I'm sure the same is possible with very few changes on 5.5.x: 1. Create a directory structure for each webapp (outside of Tomcat's installation directory) like this: struts-dev-1/ struts-dev-1/conf struts-dev-1/conf/server.xml struts-dev-1/conf/web.xml struts-dev-1/webapps struts-dev-1/logs struts-dev-1/temp ** Make sure to set your port numbers for your shutdown and connector ports to something unique among your webapps. I usually use 8x85 for the ajp13 connector port and 8x86 for the shutdown port. 2. Install your webapp to the directory struts-dev-1/webapps/struts-dev-1 3. Configure Tomcat to use "struts-dev-1" as your root webapp (usually by specifying that the "path" is "" instead of "/struts-dev-1"). 4. Start each Tomcat instance like this: $ export JAVA_HOME=... $ export CATALINA_HOME=/path/to/full/tomcat/install $ export CATALINA_BASE=/path/to/struts-dev-1 $ export CATALINA_TMPDIR=/path/th/struts-dev-1/temp $ /path/to/full/tomcat/install/bin/startup.sh This setup allows you to have separate root webapps (or any other kind of setup). You also have the benefit (I choose to see it as a benefit) of separate JVMs and Tomcat instances. You can take one down without bothering the others.
