I don't see a URL or e-mail address for you in your comment here, otherwise I'd e-mail you directly.

BarneyB, if you have the documentation, I'm still interested. :-) @GregL: I would be interested in the documentation of your Railo setup. Could you post it here or forward?

I'm in the middle of just about the same kind of migration. I'm moving from a Windows/IIS/CF VPS ($189/mo) to a Linux/Apache/Railo VPS ($30/mo) -- nice savings and likely better performance! I was initially looking at running JBoss behind Apache for Railo, just because, but I don't need it so I'll likely go with the lighter weight Tomcat as well. I like your mod_proxy_ajp/mod_rewrite ideas, which I caught on Sean Corfield's blog comments I believe, but it is still tricky to get that nice shared instance JRun style setup. I'm really curious to hear how you solve that one. I figured out a few tricks to control some directory locations for stuff generated by Railo, as well as sharing a Railo Server Admin, when deploying the Railo JARs on JBoss (or Tomcat), but it's a bit invasive in that it generates a lot of unwanted files and directories in every other JBoss EAR/WAR directory: http://jamiekrug.com/blog/index.cfm/2009/4/1/railo-jars-on-jboss-or-tomcat-tips-and-tricks I'm hoping Tomcat with simplify things slightly. Sean Corfield also mentioned that he would blog about this type of configuration with Tomcat soon. I'll procrastinate slightly longer, in case one of you guys has something to share :) But I'll let you know if I get lucky and find a "eureka!" configuration. Best, Jamie Hey Barney, good stuff.

I have documented (but not posted anywhere...not much of a blogger) step-by-step instructions for setting up Apache 2.2.x/Tomat 6.x/Railo 3.1.x in an environment that supports running multiple sites under a single instance of Railo. And you still get the server and application level admin pages. If you're interested, ping me and I can email them to you (documented in notepad!) I also keep all of my sites under a c:\websites dir, so they're not even located under tomcat.
