I have a web server which holds 3 virtual hosts on Apache, so I started playing 
with virtual hosts under Tomcat. I think that is a generally good way of 
separating things - if you need virtual hosts and don't find it an overkill. The 
most important atribute for you is "appBase" of a <Host ...> element, allowing 
you to specify the application base directory for all web applications on that 
virtual host.

If, OTOH, you don't need that, you can setup a <Context docBase="ABSOLUTE_PATH" 
...> and load it that way. Or setup symbolic links in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps.

Nix.
