Chuck, Thanks so much for your help with this. Unfortunately it still isn't working though.
I decided to try and start over. So I did "rm -rf $CATALINA_HOME" and then re-created $CATALINA_HOME. So I have a clean install of apache-tomcat-5.5.26. I did not modify anything in $CATALINA_HOME/conf. I did do: $ rm -rf $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/* to start out with a clean webapps directory. Then, I extracted A.war in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/A and B.war in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/B I did as you said and added A/META-INF/context.xml and B/META-INF/context.xml. Both of them have this content: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Context> <ResourceLink name="users" global="UserDatabase" type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"/> </Context> Once again, only one of the applications will work and the other one gives a 404 error. I've unsuccessfully tried every possible configuration that I can think of to get both applications to be served simultaneously. Do you have any other suggestions or could you post a working example of the configuration files that I would need to get both A and B to be served at the same time? Thanks so much for your help.
