URL mapping without multiple initialization

[frama]

I have a standalone Tomcat 5.5 and
I am not able to figure out how to map multiple url
to the same webapp without having tomcat initialize
the webapp twice.

I have an webapp deployed in webapps/testapp

This is accessible through

http://localhost/testapp

Now I want to access the same webapp using an
alternate url like:

http://localhost/foo.

I defined a new context in server.xml like:

<Context path = "/foo"
docBase = "/testapp"
debug = "0"
reloadable = "true"
crossContext= "true">
</Context>

but now I see that the webapp is initialized
twice by tomcat. How can I have only one
initialization of my webapp ?

Thanks

Frama

Tomcat just does not work like that I'm afraid.

Your options are to use Apache HTTPD server to redirect traffic from a URL to another.
