The normal state of affairs is to have multiple webapps; look at what comes with Tomcat. > Would you just have multiple <appBase> params No, the appBase attribute defines where *all* of the <Host> webapps go, each in its own directory or .war file immediately under the appBase directory. Again, look at what Tomcat has in its default distribution; under the webapps directory, you'll find docs, examples, host-manager, manager, and ROOT. Each one of those is a separate, independent webapp, with ROOT being the default for the <Host>; ROOT is used when the URL doesn't match any of the others. > I figured that the easiest way to keep everything straight > and neat would be to bind each instance of the software to > a sub-domain. That's *a* way; instead of http://sub1.domain.com http://sub2.domain.com http://sub3.domain.com ... you could have used a scheme like http://domain.com/sub1 http://domain.com/sub2 http://domain.com/sub3 ... This alternative scheme uses only one <Host>, and deploys the webapp under a different name for each sub. This allows you to add or remove subs on the fly, without taking Tomcat down. Your current scheme requires restarting Tomcat whenever you want to add or a remove a subdomain. > Each sub-domain will have it's own schema, file storage, > and instance of the software that is bound to it. Possible under either scheme, since each webapp is completely independent of the others - other than all running in the same JVM. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
