You want this: webapps/abc webapps/abc/ROOT <-- this is your "abc" webapp webapps/abc/ROOT/META-INF webapps/abc/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml webapps/xyz webapps/xyz/ROOT <-- this is your "xyz" webapp webapps/xyz/ROOT/META-INF webapps/xyz/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml It looks like you don't have any custom configuration for your <Context>, so you don't even need META-INF/context.xml files for either of your webapps. Set up two <Host>s: <Engine defaultHost="abc"> <Host name="abc" appBase="webapps/abc" autoDeploy="true"> <Alias>abc.local</Alias> </Host> <Host name="xyz" appBase="webapps/xyz" autoDeploy="true"> <Alias>xyz.local</Alias> </Host> </Engine> Many administrators would expect that CATALINA_BASE/webapps is the auto-deployment directory for a standard setup, so maybe instead of the above paths, you'd want to move "webapps/xyz" and "webapps/abc" outside of CATALINA_BASE, and then refer to them appropriately from within server.xml. This should avoid double-deployment. Basically, these are the best-practices for Tomcat configuration: 1. Never declare <Context> elements in server.xml 2. Use the default auto-deploy <Host> and put your webapps into the appBase directory... remember to use ROOT as appropriately 3. If you don't want your webapps to be in the auto-deploy directory, then use conf/[Service]/[Engine]/[webappname].xml to configure your webapps instead.
