Hello, you are correct on both parts. Thanks for the tip, I will make sure to fix that.
Also the method I tried worked just fine. My next test is to see if I can create diffrent context with the same war, then edit the resulting context.xml files to have diffrent db files. this way I can host several of the same apps with diffrent db's on our servers for demo purposes.

The gdb extension suggest you are using firebird or interbase. My recommendation: Change the extension to fdb, as gdb is handled specially by windows system restore and you might end up having clients whose computers back up a copy the the database to system restore on any webapp restart... Se firebird lists for more details. Regards, Steffen
