I'm developing with Eclipse but could configure custom build steps with ant. This solution would remove most of the inconvenience, but I would still have to make 4 separate WARs available for distribution. Not *too* big of a deal but I'd rather just distribute a single archive.

Thanks for the advice and the doc link, this looks like the best option. I was deploying the WAR through the Tomcat manager, I'll have to change that (unless there's a way to configure custom deployment steps through the manager?). Is there a way to keep it from being removed when the app is undeployed?

That's not a bad idea, except it seems I can get around all of the drawbacks Chuck mentioned with the low cost of putting the file in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml instead. Although it's enticing, since it's something I'd only have to set up once per server and not think about again. For now this server is dedicated to a single web application so restarting the server is not any worse than restarting the web app. Thanks for your replies, Jason --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
