I found an issue with Tomcat having multiple hosts defined.
			

			Please guide me if I was wrong.
			

			

			I have Tomcat 6.0.16 installed.
			

			

			In Server.xml, each of the Host names defined has different docBase. And in one of the Hosts have a servlet, MyScheduler, set to load on startup.
			

			To my surprise, when tomcat is started, MyScheduler was initiated that many number of times as the number of Hosts defined.
			

			

			This was unexpected.
			

			Is this issue found on other app servers?
			

			

			Please let me know if there is a solution for this issue.
			

			

			Can we have a single Host name and have multiple Aliases defined and
			

			a) each Host Alias has its own docBase as context? or
			

			b) each Context has multiple Host Alias names?
			

			

			Please see below:
			

			~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
			

			What I have set in Server.xml is as follows:
			

			

			
				

				

				unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
				

				xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
				

				mydomain.com
				

				

				

				directory="logs"  prefix="myApp2_access_log." suffix=".txt"
				

				pattern="common" resolveHosts="false"/>
				

				

				

				unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
				

				xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
				

				my.another.domain.com
				

				

				

				directory="logs"  prefix="myApp2_access_log." suffix=".txt"
				

				pattern="common" resolveHosts="false"/>
				

				

			
			

			

			What I was thinking, to behave like, was as follows:
			

			

			
				

				

				unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
				

				xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
				

				

				

				

				

				directory="logs"  prefix="mayApp1_access_log." suffix=".txt"
				

				pattern="common" resolveHosts="false"/>
				

				

				

				

				

				

				directory="logs"  prefix="mayApp2_access_log." suffix=".txt"
				

				pattern="common" resolveHosts="false"/>
