Tomcat Contexts

[Rohit Peyyeti <ro...@translogicsys.com>]

Hello:

Is there any way where we could run single tomcat instance with 
Apache in the front and with each apache VH having its own blank 
context? Is this possible?

The current setup which I have now runs multiple tomcat instances 
with its own root context for each VH within apache. I was looking 
for more efficient means of doing this. 

Any ideas? Thanks!

Rohit

PS:

Here are some possibilities which I listed for setting up contexts
with apache/tomcat:

- Apache with apps blank tomcat contexts. 
   Start one tomcat instance for one app with one unique port 
   number. Can define blank context.
   
- Apache with different app contexts
  - Start one tomcat instance which will handle all apps requests. 
    Only one port will handle all communication for all apps. Cannot 
    define blank context. 
 
- Tomcat with virtual hosts. 
  - Start one tomcat instance which will handle all hosts requests. 
    Only one port will handle all communication for all hosts. Can 
    define blank context. 
    
- Tomcat with different app contexts
  - Start one tomcat instance which will handle all apps requests. 
    Only one port will handle all communication for all apps. Cannot 
    define blank context. This setup is close to "Apache with different 
    app contexts"
    
This setup according to me is not possible:

- Apache with apps blank context with single tomcat instance serving 
  different apps. To be able to communicate with apache there should be 
  a way to communicate using different ports (AJP12/AJP13) or by using 
  different contexts.
