Hi all,

I know that there aren't many Tomcat users on this list, and that I'm echoing previous emails to the list but I wanted to see if anyone here had encountered this issue. Some pieces of this may be steps forward to solving problems that others on the list have mentioned; I've cc'd you in the hopes that the information is helpful.

Tomcat can be configured to multiple services, on varying ports, in the $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml file; e.g. [1]. I have two nearly-identical WARs in the following directory structure:

 

[1] example server.xml:

   <Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">

   <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener"

             SSLEngine="on"/>

   <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.JasperListener"/>

   <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.JreMemoryLeakPreventionListener"/>

   <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.mbeans.GlobalResourcesLifecycleListener"/>

   <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.ThreadLocalLeakPreventionListener"/>

   <GlobalNamingResources>

      <Resource name="UserDatabase"

                auth="Container"

                type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"

                description="User database that can be updated and saved"

                factory="org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory"

                pathname="conf/tomcat-users.xml"/>

   </GlobalNamingResources>

   <Service name="Catalina">

      <Connector port="8080"
