Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

[Probably this question should be asked elsewhere, if so please advise]

Dear all,
I understand that Tomcat 5.5 prefers that your web application comes with a context.xml file under the META-INF folder.

So I added a context.xml file under the META-INF folder of my web application,
please have a look below.

context.xml

 
<Context path="" docBase="C://Program Files//Apache Software Foundation//Tomcat 5.5//webapps//test"> 
	<Resource 
		name="jdbc/testDB" 
		factory="org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory" 
		auth="Container" 
		type="javax.sql.DataSource" 
		maxActive="10" 
		maxIdle="5" 
		maxWait="10000" 
		removeAbandoned="true" 
		removeAbandonedTimeout="60" 
		logAbandoned="true" 
		username="username" 
		password="password" 
		driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" 
		url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test" /> 
</Context> 

Ok, that is good so far, but how do I configure the Host element.

I mean how do you link a specific Host to a specific Context?
Before, the Context element was a sub element of the Host element,
now it is completely separated.



Host in server.xml

 
<Host name="www.test.com" deployOnStartup="true" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"> 
	<Valve 
		className="org.apache.catalina.valves.FastCommonAccessLogValve" 
		prefix="test_access_log." 
		suffix=".txt" 
		pattern="common" 
		directory="C://Program Files//Apache Software Foundation//Tomcat 5.5//webapps//test//logs"/> 
</Host> 

I assume that if I modify the appBase of the Host element from webapps to webapps/test then it would work, but if I have several
Contexts for the specific Host, how should I configure it then?


Please help by giving examples!
