Thanks David. Just one thing I fail to understand (from my Tomcat background) : what is the point of having ABL applications span multiple Tomcat webapps ? To my mind, a tomcat webapp is isolated from the others, but ABL apps can be declared on multiple Tomcat webapps. Is there a document or schema which specify the 1:1 or 1:n relations between webapps / ABL apps / Session manager / Agents ? One instance (host
ort) HAS one or more (java) webapps /ROOT /ServiceOne /ServiceTwo AND Has one or more ABL application The names of the ABL apps are in the openedge.properties file. Each ABL application lists the webapps that allow acess to it. From an openedge.properties file I have lying around 
[AppServer] allowRuntimeUpdates=0 applications=mediaresource collectMetrics=1 statusEnabled=1 [mediaresource] webApps=ROOT,SportsSvc This says that the instance has a single ABL application – mediaresource – which has two webapps (ROOT and SportsSvc). An ABL application is defined by having a session manager which means it has one or more multi-session agents. Each abl application has its own db connection(s) and PROPATH. Reasons to have multiple WebApps might be to have separate security spaces (ie /Public might have anonymous access and /Private might use LDAP or OERealm authentication). Is there also a whitepaper on how to set-up WebSpeed applications in a "modern" way, meaning without taking care of the legacy webspeed issues ? That's a good suggestion. What kinds of issues do you mean?
