You may be confusing "context" with "web site". A context is a web application; a given host may have many web apps (and therefore contexts). Tomcat, by default, listens on all IP addresses that are routed to the box, and all web apps (contexts) are available to all those IP addresses. If you want to segregate web apps by IP address, set up multiple <Host> tags in server.xml, and configure the appropriate IP addresses for each. Each host can (and probably should) have its own appBase setting to avoid inadvertent sharing of web apps across hosts. Take a look at: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/host.html By the way, putting <Context> tags in server.xml is strongly discouraged in the 5.5.x levels. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
