Someone correct me if I'm worng here but I believe the answer is yes, but you would have to reference it in relation to the root webapp. In other words, server.xml will not get reloaded so you can't add a new context. > (2) redeploy "a" without restarting the tomcat service? check out the reloadable flag in server.xml. Once again, though, "c" could not be made reloadable for the same reason as (1). --- Michael Wentzel Software Developer Software As We Think - http://www.aswethink.com
