Larry, Thanks for the additional information. Upon further reflection, I notice that all JSPs are compiled into the following directory:
$TOMCAT_HOME/work/DEFAULT/examples/jsp The problem is that requests to domain1.com/examples/ and domain2.com/examples/ are treated the same, and I would like Tomcat to use the work directories for each domain, not the DEFAULT. Recall, the purpose is to have a playground where users on the system can fiddle with the examples directory to learn and explore. I had this working with Tomcat 3.2, but I don't see the configuration analog between the two systems. Maybe a better way of phrasing my question would be, how do I make sure the /examples is treated on a per-host basis, not system-wide through the default? Again, the help and input is very appreciated.
