Yes; there's a separate classloader created for each <Host>/<Context> combination. > And so then the question is: In a remote hosting setting > like this, what is the purpose of the localhost Host: > <Host name="localhost" ....> You might well ask what's the purpose of the other <Host> with the domain name. You really only need one, and its name is irrelevant, as long as that name appears on the defaultHost attribute of the <Engine>. Multiple <Host> elements are useful when you really are serving separate, multiple domains. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
