I have 3 separate context files setup within the conf/Catalina/localhost/ folder (examples provided below). WebSite1 <Context reloadable="true" crossContext="true" sessionCookiePath="/" docBase="/Users/jeremy/tomcat/manualDeploy/myapp" path="/website1"></Context> WebSite2 <Context reloadable="true" crossContext="true" sessionCookiePath="/" docBase="/Users/jeremy/tomcat/manualDeploy/myapp" path="/website2"></Context> WebSite3 <Context reloadable="true" crossContext="true" sessionCookiePath="/" docBase="/Users/jeremy/tomcat/manualDeploy/myapp" path="/website3"></Context> We are looking for a way to deploy a new version of the application "myapp" using the parallel deployment approach so that we minimize downtime. I have been unable to get tomcat to recognize the new version when I deploy myapp##001 via the automatic deployment process or when I add a myapp##001 to the /Users/jeremy/tomcat/manualDeploy/ folder. I suspect it is because parallel deployments don't work if you specify the path attribute of a context configuration. I've also tried putting myapp in the appbase folder, but if I do that then Tomcat gives me an error stating that I cannot specify a docbase within the appease folder (tried both absolute and relative paths). > >> but I wanted to >> reach out to the community and ask before we attempt to change how we >> setup tomcat. > >As long as the WAR is outside the host's appBase you should be fine. > >> Please note, I have been able to get the parallel >> deployment process to work if we create separate wars for each of our >> web sites and deploy them individually.
