Hi,

Yes.

There are a number of ways you can do this, a custom valve being one of
the worst.  Here are some alternatives:

One option: Rearrange server.xml into three Services, each one with one
Engine, Host, Connector, and Context.  Service1 would have the port 80
connector (only) and the web-app1 context (only).  No coding needed.

Another option: have a simple filter a-la the balancer app included with
Tomcat, which redirects requests to the right webapp as needed.  The
filter would be declared for url-pattern /* in each of your three
webapps.  A little bit of coding here, not much.

A similar alternative: put something (could be Apache, could be another
Tomcat, whatever) in front of this 3-app Tomcat with just balancer, or
just the above mentioned filter, to route your requests.

Also with the Apache route: put http in front of Tomcat and do some
URL-rewriting.

I'll stop here, even though there are other ways, all still better than
a custom valve.
