Yes. Otherwise how would one know which new request was directed to which app? > However, using that scheme means that the war file is somewhat fixed to the > pattern "ROOT##[0-9].war.

What's the difference between what you're describing and current functionality? but I've noticed that using that (in a context.xml or in > ROOT.xml) you must also specify the file name, i.e. > docBase="myapps/warfilename", in order to 'link' myapps/warfilename.war.

The docBase describes the location of either the war file, or the exploded war file (ie directory). p --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
