Michael, I am in a very similar position to you, and I don't have any help, but I wanted to indicate that you're not alone.
Our app uses a properties file which is put into the classpath. There are new mechanisms for using properties files, but we've been doing it this way since Tomcat 3.2 and I'd rather just find a way to get the properties file into the classpath. I can massage the classpath in the setenv script for command line execution, and I can hack the registry's -Djava.class.path parameter (I'm on Win2K), but if I want to run two Tomcats as SERVICES on the same Windows box, the only thing I've been able to come up with is to install Tomcat twice, to two different directories, and hack the two different java.class.path registry settings. So you might look up the doc on setting properties files into server.xml(?) but I'd love to hear from anyone running multiple Tomcats on a Win2K box with a custom file (.zip file or properties file) in the classpath, with different versions for each Tomcat server. I have not been able to massage a classpath init-param into web.xml to save my life. Andrew Longley MindFlow Technologies, Inc. www.mindflow.com -----Original Message----- From: Michael D.

I have successfully configured the default basic auth to work with MSSQL 2000. I have multiple clients. Each one wants their own "User" database to administer for themselves. That is fine, but I can't seem to configure Tomcat to respect a different User Database for each different app. I have messed with web.xml till I am blue in the face. No such luck with getting Tomcat to use any other database except for the server default. I realize that Tomcat is different then Apache. Since they both are made by the same people, and Apache can easly do something simular, I figure it can be achieved with Tomcat as well. I can't control the authentication with Apache since I am using a Linux box to access MSSQL 2000 with the Java drivers. Can anyone offer some guidance here? Any help in the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Michael D.
