Hi Chris, Thanks for your very detailed response!!
I will try that out Tues Morning and get back to you with any questions. I do have one. Currently I have my app deployed as ROOT in Tomcat. How do I change this for multiple apps? I am new to Apache and Tomcat deployments... For example I would like to have www.example.com load that is why I deployed as ROOT.war. www.additional.com www.extra.com I Read several articles about starting off Tomcat war files with www.example.com and not extra path stuff.
