Hassan, Thanks for your reply.
In production 2 projects are hosted on 2 different domain names and the host provider is using Apache Virtual Host I think. But, my problem only applies to the development envrionment. I tried to set up the virtual host on the dev machine by following instructions here: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Guide+to+using+Apache+Tomcat's+Virtual+Hosts This resulted in a virtual folder virtual.domainname.com under \dev\apache-tomcat-5.5.12\work\Catalina\ , but I wasn't able to access the application via http://virtual.domainname.com:8080/ It says "you need to have entries in your DNS server ", I guess I can't have this set up while on the local dev box. The only reason why I set up both projects on the ROOT context is so that they can be accessed from http://localhost:8080/ and not http://localhost:8080/SomeContext/ I'm also using context relative URLs inside the application code that begin with / , they can't begin with /SomeContext/ I'm sorry if I'm wrong about setting up the virtual host on my local machine, but that's what I understand after reading the documentation above and here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/host.html -Rashmi ----- Original Message ---- From: Hassan Schroeder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Tomcat Users List <users@tomcat.apache.org> Sent: Thursday, November 9, 2006 10:09:40 AM Subject: Re: Switching between 2 projects, each setup at Tomcat's ROOT context deletes the source folder of the 2nd project.

The first question is why they both have to be the ROOT context; nevertheless, if there's a valid reason -- Create separate virtual hosts with unique AppBases and run each project as ROOT in its own vhost. End of problem.
