Response will generally be faster without something else up front adding path length. If you do need to front end Tomcat, someone else will have to help you with that config, since I have very, very limited experience with mod_jk. Proceeding with a stand-alone config, the first step is to read the docs, if you haven't already done so: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/host.html http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html You should have two <Host> elements with name attributes "fish.com" and "apples.com" respectively in server.xml, inside the <Engine> element. One of your <Host> names must be declared to be the default one in your <Engine> element, since some requests may come in via IP address rather than a name. (You could always define a third one - such as the existing localhost - for that purpose.) You only need one <Connector> inside your <Engine>; it will handle requests for all <Host>s. If you get rid of the front end and mod_jk, just use the HTTP version and set the port number to 80. The two (or three) <Host> elements should use unique appBase settings to avoid overlapping deployments; for example, you could use webapps.fish.com and webapps.apples.com (leaving the plain webapps for the third default <Host> if you go that way). The default app for each <Host> should be deployed under its appBase directory in the ROOT subdirectory (or as ROOT.war) - note that this name is case sensitive. So, your index.jsp files would be located in webapps.fish.com/ROOT/index.jsp and webapps.apples.com/ROOT/index.jsp for Application1 and Application2, respectively, along with the rest of the components of each app. You likely do not need <Context> elements for your apps, since Tomcat uses the name of the deployment directory to derive the URL path for the app, with ROOT being the required alias for the default app (what used to be specified with an empty string path attribute). If you really have to use <Context> elements, they should be placed in context.xml files in each app's META-INF directory (in the ongoing example, that would be webapps.fish.com/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml and webapps.apples.com/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml). Such <Context> elements must not contain path or docBase attributes. You can also choose to deploy your apps outside of the <Host> appBase directories. If you wish to do so, you will need ROOT.xml files in conf/Catalina/fish.com and conf/Catalina/apples.com. Each of these ROOT.xml files must contain a single <Context> element with a docBase attribute pointing to the location of each <Host>'s respective default app. Again, the path attribute must not be used. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
