Hi,

I am using tomcat 5.5.20 version. I am trying to deploy multiple sites
using tomcat (without apache). Ideally I would like to define Hosts in
server.xml and define context.xml outside server.xml.

<tomcat>/webapps/host1 is the webapps directory for host1
<tomcat>/webapps/host2 is the webapps directory for host2

server.xml has following hosts
www.host1.mycompany.com
www.host2.mycompany.com

<Host
         name="www.host1.mycompany.com"
       appBase="webapps/host1"
       unpackWARs="true"
       autoDeploy="true"
       xmlValidation="false"
       xmlNamespaceAware="false">
       <Valve className='org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve'
        directory='logs/host1'
        prefix='host1_access_log'
        suffix='.log'
        pattern='common' />
</Host>

<Host
         name="www.host2.mycompany.com"
       appBase="webapps/host2"
       unpackWARs="true"
       autoDeploy="true"
       xmlValidation="false"
       xmlNamespaceAware="false">
      <Valve className='org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve'
        directory='logs/host2'
        prefix='host2_access_log'
        suffix='.log'
        pattern='common' />
</Host>

And in each context.xml is defined as follows at webapps/host1/META-
INF/context.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context debug="5" path="" reloadable="true" />

This configuration does not work. Please let me know if I am doing
anything wrong.

Please advise.
