Do different virtual hosts have to have different appBase values?

Example:
http://www.pig.cz will the same as http://www.pig.net/cz;
http://www.pig.net will the same as http://www.pig.cz/en;

Using request.getServletPath) and request.getRequestURI() I shoul recognize 
the default language of the application and the "different languages" should 
share whole application including servlet mappings in web.xml. Why not?

But for example http://www.pig.cz/monkey should not be configured and 
http://www.pig.net/monkey should. Why not?

If the Tomcat should run only on Operating Systems, it will be good and 
sharing of the appBase is not necessary, because OS supports symlinks.
But file systems of the Disk Operating Systems doesn't support symlinks well 
known from UNIX, so the sharing is only the solution for this.

I hope you mean docBase?

Don't see why they couldn't point to the same repository of files, provided 
that the files aren't open for exclusive use (Windows???). If you run on Unix, 
you could just symlink one directory to another and it would probably still be 
OK. Provided, of course, you're only reading the files from there. Otherwise, 
two applications could be stepping on each other's toes.

There would still be 2 different contexts (i.e. two different applications in 
the sense of the Servlet Spec), from what I understand.
