Well, I suppose this won't work with mod_webapp - using application name in WebAppDeploy in httpd.conf couses tomcat (probably) to search for this name under appBase. So my working configuration is appBase=webapps/aaa docBase=aaa and application in webapps/aaa/aaa. A little mesh, but I think I will be able to cut one 'aaa' as soon as I'll be able to migrate to mod_jk (now I'm not because of mod_jserv used with the same apache).

How is (in your opinion) best practice for virtual host configuration ? I see there is quite natural in tomcat configuring many applications under one host - one writes several Context sections with appropriate docRoot and path attributes and that's all. When I configure several virtualhost I define Host name=aaa appBase=webapps debug=1 unpackWARs=false Context path= docBase=aaa/ debug=1 reloadable=true /Context /Host Host name=bbb appBase=webapps debug=1 unpackWARs=false Context path= docBase=bbb debug=1 reloadable=true /Context /Host but then I see in log, that for every host it is loaded every application installed in webapps directory. Should I define appBase=webapps/aaa and leave path empty instead ? (honestly I tried to, but there was a problem with mod_webapp then, it tried to deploy application webapps/aaa/aaa (one aaa was from WebAppDeploy directive in apache). if you change the appBase, then you need to change the docBase to be the absolute path. Charlie Any suggestions ? Richard. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

if your context is under the appBase, then it will autoload it. If your context is not under the appBase(shared contexts), then you have to provide the path to it.
