Can Two Host-s share one Context?

[Brian Olson <ic...@bolson.org>]

I want to have one server serve a bunch of virtual hosts, and to have 
their web apps available as both

www.mybigsharedserver.com/some_vhost_site/
www.some_vhost_site.com/

I'm able to make this happen by declaring two Host entries in server.xml
with overlapping appBase and setting the root context of the vhost in 
there as well,

BUT

This causes two instances of the Context for the webapp. The webapp is 
getting larger and I don't like the duplication of resources that go into 
running it twice.

Is there a way to configure a Context to be shared by two Hosts?

If not by server.xml, would there be a reasonable way to code this up by 
just adding the same Context Object to both Host Objects?

That sounds a bit scary unless you inhibit war unpacking.  Even then I'd
be reluctant to do that.

Not that I'm aware of.  How about using a filter on the
www.mybigsharedserver.com <Host> that redirects to the proper <Host>
name?
