I was having a similar problem moving a Tomcat 5.5 configuration to 6.0.
Following this thread and reading the docs I created virtual hosts
using the same webapps dir (it is a development environment with CVS
and I would have to change many things to accomplish one webapp folder
per virtual host).
Using the examples on this thread it would be like this
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="false" deployOnStartup="false"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
</Host>
<Host name="foo" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="false" deployOnStartup="false"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<Context path="" docBase="foo" reloadable="true" />
</Host>
<Host name="bar" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="false" deployOnStartup="false"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<Context path="" docBase="bar" reloadable="true" />
</Host>
with this I avoid full apps initialization on Tomcat Startup (I have
up to 20 and use <!-- --> to comment the Host I am not workin on) and
I am able to treat each app under webapps as an independent host.
I suppose it is not a good set-up for a production environment but I
needed a quick set-up to start working ASAP and this seems to work
just fine.
