Charlie,
I want to make sure I'm understanding your suggestion. I would do something like this
in server.xml:
<Host name="www.siteA.com">
<!-- Common Context - These files are shared between all domains -->
<Context path="" docBase="common" debug="0" reloadable="true"/>
<!-- Local Context - These files are specific to this domain -->
<Context path="/local" docBase="siteA" debug="0" reloadable="true"/>
</Host>
<Host name="www.siteB.com">
<!-- Common Context - These files are shared between all domains -->
<Context path="" docBase="common" debug="0" reloadable="true"/>
<!-- Local Context - These files are specific to this domain -->
<Context path="/local" docBase="siteB" debug="0" reloadable="true"/>
</Host>
Is this what you meant? Is there anyway to have Tomcat automaticaly look for a file in
the Common Context if it doesn't find it in the Local Context?
Thanks,
Steve
