    Is it possible to have the same web module configured to be accessible from different context-roots within the same EAR. wsad is not allowing this.

    J2EE spec disallows this, so WSAD should disallow it too. J2EE defines the application deployment descriptor for an EAR as having one context root. What would be the point in 2 context roots for one app? Users have a choice...?

    Of course you can alias different URLs within a single context root on the HTTP webserver, thereby achieving something similar to what you seem to be looking for.

    thank you for your reply

    I cannot understand why we cannot have two web modules, with the same codebase (different war names, of course) but put under different context-root's co-exist in the same ear. The two wars are almost same except for some changes in resource references to access different data sources
    thank you
