Cees,

Thanks for the advice. I thought about doing it your way, however there will actually 
be 4 or 5 sites, some of which will override more than just header.jsp and footer.jsp. 
I think this will lead to a maintenance nightmare down the road. Plus, I like the idea 
of being able to add new content to siteB, which wouldn't exist in siteA. 

I worked for a company several years ago and we did this using Dynamo, which is why I 
thought Tomcat might be able to handle it, too. Unfortunately, I wasn't privy to the 
configuration.

Steve
