title: Must Tomcat 7 app be inside appBase?
body: <p>I'm running Tomcat 7 (via mod_proxy_ajp connector to apache 2.2 httpd) on localhost. My <code>webapps</code> folder is set in the tomcat <code>conf/server.xml</code> to <code>/Users/myname/Sites/webapps</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible somehow to configure things so that I can have other Tomcat apps in folders <em>not</em> inside the <code>webapps</code> folder? If so, how?</p>
  
  <p>For example, is it allowed to have additional <code>Host</code> entries in <code>server.xml</code> -- with separate names, of course, e.g.:</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;Host name="myapp.local" appBase="/Users/myname/Sites/myapp"
   ....
   /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And then, if that's allowed, do I just copy the usual stuff from the default <code>Host</code> entry to such additional entries?</p>
