That makes sense. OK, next question, in a thread started yesterday, it was mentioned (correctly, I assume) that you could use XML entities to include external XML files into server.xml.
So, this link came up on Google: http://tech.irt.org/articles/js212/#example_2 Which leads a person to believe that something like <!ENTITY vhost SYSTEM "/path/to/tomcat/conf/vhost1.xml"> Then towards the bottom: &vhost1 would work in server.xml, but it doesn't. Error: "Catalina.start: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The content beginning "<!" is not legal markup. " Is this a futile path, or is it possible to include external XML into server.xml when server.xml is parsed? If so, how? Thanks!
