Multiple apps in Tomcat

[Rajan Chinna]

Lets say i have 3 different web applications under webapps folder as
App1, App2 and App3. I want all three apps to be running when tomcat is started.

1.What should my Context docBase in server.xml pointing to....?
<Context path="" docBase="???" debug="0" reloadable="true">

2.Why my new jsp is not reloaded automatically when i set like this....?
<Context path="" docBase="App1" debug="0" reloadable="true">

Thanks

Sure, All web application should be run, After tomcat server started.

1.What should my Context docBase in server.xml pointing to....?
<Context path="" docBase="???" debug="0" reloadable="true">

In tomcat 4.x/5.x, you don't worry in this issue which tomcat server automatically manage.

"docBase" attribute name of Context tag, it's refer to directory in webapp directory but you can refer to another directory (c:\, d:\)

2.Why my new jsp is not reloaded automatically when i set like this....?
<Context path="" docBase="App1" debug="0" reloadable="true">

By default , Tomcat can automatically reloaded jsp.

And another solution : you can reload webapp in Tomcat Manager.
