How to define contexts?

Hassan,

No, it's just me unfamiliar with the idea of contexts.
So far I've figured out that there is a file context.xml that can define 
extra parameters for an application, but I'm not sure about:

1) Whether it's possible to direct two contexts at the same codebase.

I'm looking at Catalina/localhost/manager.xml and host-manager.xml, and 
they use different codebases.

2) How to tie a particular context to a particular URL, as you indicate 
below. Currently I have dev and www DNS aliases both pointing to virtual 
host in apache, and these hosts ProxyPass everything to two different 
Tomcat applications (/dev and /pro). Ideally, I'd like to have one 
Tomcat application, but I'm not sure how to list two contexts for one 
application.

Thanks,
Simon
