Is virtual hosting is the solution to this or is there any other technology for this purpose ? I have followed steps in tomcat site for creating virtual host. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/virtual-hosting-howto.html After I edit my server.xml, I have created 2 folders in conf/Catalina/ with ROOT.xml and manager.xml inside them. After restarting the tomcat, I am getting blank blank page when i am accessing manager/html page. Please help!

I want to use this approach to test my application. But I do not know which files to insert these lines in. Also I am not using apache server, I am using apache tomcat 5.5. Also, I found that while we are updating our application, the application is not known to tomcat, untill it is completed. So tomcat sends 503 page as resource not found. I want to know is virtual hosting is the right way to deal with this issue. Is it possible to customise the 503 page, so that, for any resource not found issue, tomcat displays the customised page. I am trying to set the page in tomcat directory itself. I have gone through all xml files in tomcat directory, along with xml files in other directories like conf etc. I did not find any setting for 503 pages. If you know how to set this page. please write me. Is this solution is appropriate? Thanks in advance
