Yes this was what I noticed, I was not aware that createing a new tomcat context means that the webapp is deployed again.
However I think it has to be possible to link any URL from IIS to an URl on tomcat. I am looking forward to any input :-) Cheers Claudio ******************************************** IPH Informatik AG Herr Claudio Greuter Lagerhausstrasse 9 8400 Winterthur Switzerland Tel: +41 (0)52 203 26 72 Fax: +41 (0)52 233 94 71 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************** -----Original Message----- From: David Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mittwoch, 25.

Specifically, the repository state files would be a mess if there were multiple JCR repository instances pointing to the same state files. You might be able to get IIS to mount the one context to multiple virtual hosts via jk. Others will have offer guidance on that as I don't use IIS. --David Claudio Greuter wrote: >Hi List > >We are using a CMS (Magnolia) running on Tomcat to publish content for >several webs. > >The CMS is one single Web application which locks some database files >upon loading.
