Tried setting up two hosts as Yoav suggested. No errors when I start tomcat and the log records deployments within the second deploy directory, but I cannot access those webapps. EG, if I deploy reports.war in the first (default) deploy directory of webapps, I can access it at http://localhost:8080/reports but if I only deploy reports.war in the secondary deploy directory (without putting it in the first), going to the same URL returns nothing. Can one set up two <Host> configurations even if they only have one domain name (as is the case with me). If not, how else can one set up two different deploy directories?

In my server.xml, I have one Host defined. Setting its appBase="BAR" simply requires all webapps to be in the $TOMCAT_HOME/BAR directory instead of the $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory. The user (at the browser) sees none of this since the path to a webapp is not http://localhost:8080/webapps/myApp.war but is instead http://localhost:8080/myApp.war. Thus, changing the appBase has no effect on what the user sees, only where the files are stored. I must have worded my question wrong. Say for example, we have mycompany.com who has two divisions - Sales and IT. Each wants to use JSP / Servlets, but they want different deploy directories and different paths visible to the user. Thus, sales wants all of its webapps to be at http://mycompany.com:8080/Sales/someSalesWebapp/foo.jsp http://mycompany.com:8080/Sales/anotherSalesWebapp/foo2.jsp Whereas IT wants all of its webapps to be at http://mycompany.com:8080/IT/someITWebapp/bar.jsp http://mycompany.com:8080/IT/anotherITWebapp/bar2.jsp Sales people can copy their .war files to the $SALES_DEPLOY directory and their webapps will be deployed to the /Sales/ space. IT people can copy their .war files to the $IT_DEPLOY directory and their webapps will be deployed to the /IT space. Is such a configuration possible? :) All advice has and will be a huge help. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Shapira, Yoav [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2004 12:22 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Mapping /BAH/ to / Howdy, Sure, define a Host with the BAR appBase.
