Actually, if you put your hosts in webapps, Tomcat will automatically
create contexts for them, However, these will be in the form
http://server.domain..com/appname/. This is essentially the same as your
.war suggesting.
Creating virtual hosts out of them is a different kettle of fish.
However, it seems that a simple shell script would do the trick - just
find each directory and generate a virtual host entry for it.
