I have been going off this documentation... http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-doc/html-manager-howto.html
which is a bit confusing. I really want to do something like this... <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"> <Context path="/" docBase="../apps/saasmain.war"/> but the doc says path HAS to be saasmain. Doc also says docBase can't be inside appBase which is why I do the ../apps. I want to do 3 different domains each being at the root of tomcat, but I seem to keep getting it wrong. ALSO, I want my files to be saasmain.war, timecard.war, not ROOT.war as well. I could cheat and do the ROOT.war path but I would rather not do that and figure out how this all works. I do have another config that does work with 3 urls and app names BUT it boots the apps twice every time because docBase is inside appBase according to the docs. thanks, Dean
