I was actually looking for something like this but couldn't find info. Can you give me a URL to more detailed explanation as to how or what? I'm sorry for not making my problem clear: I'm not so much concerned with adding hosts to the server.xml but more with the restart of Tomcat. Right now I've created 10 dummy virtual host entries in the server.xml so all I have to do is adjust the domainname in appropriate places. I will look into the various suggestions in this thread to see if this can be optimized. However, from the Tomcat docs I understand that any change to server.xml requires a restart of Tomcat which would mean that the existing (non-dummy) hosts which are already in production, i.e. up and running, will also be taken offline. This is the heart of the problem: is there a possibility to add a new host (or modify the domainname of an existing dummy) to the server.xml WITHOUT having to restart Tomcat and therefore all hosts that are already in production? Somebody suggested using the host manager, but from the Tomcat docs I understand that the host manager is intended for deploying webapps in a single domain, i.e. domainX webappA webappB while I have the following situation: domainX webappA domainY webappA Thanks.
