In Tomcat 5.0 on RH Linux I was able to make a context fragment file=20
called tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/webappB.xml, which allowed me to
call webappA by specifying the name webappB=20
 in the browser's URL.  The file looked like this:=20

<!-- Context fragment to access webappA.war with the name webappB -->=20
<Context docBase=3D"webappA"=20
         debug=3D"0" privileged=3D"true">=20
</Context>=20

Enter Tomcat 5.5 where this no longer works.  I can't seem to glean=20
the information I need from the Tomcat 5.5 docs, and I've resorted to
hit=20
or miss experimentation.  All misses.   I've read things in the docs
like "do not=20
use docBase...", and I've tried all manner of combinations.  All to no=20
avail.  Basically all I ever get from my browser is "Blahblah... 404...
The=20
requested resource (blahblah) is not available."=20

Question:  Can anyone tell me specifically how to configure Tomcat 5.5=20
so that I can call webappA by specifying webappB (without using=20
symbolic links) from the browser?=20

Thank you.=20
