currently the few webware applications i've created each reside in a 
context, and each context contains its servlets, templates, etc.

again, aknowledging my java servlet hang-over: in tomcat, each context 
is a separate web application, with its own class hierarchy, its own 
/lib, its own configuration like security settings, ip restrictions, 
etc.  the same user visiting two contexts will receive a separate 
session for each context.

so, to achieve this in webware, i must run separate instances of 
AppServer and change the apache config each time i add one, right?

thanks a lot for your patience laying this out for me.  maybe a "webware 
for java servlet developers" page might be nice to have in the wiki.

fwiw, i just finished my first pair of webware applications, and i'm 
definitely liking it.  if nothing blows up once they go into production 
i'll be a convert  :-)
