Oh my. The end of the message was cut off in the transmission between the user mailing list and the online forum :-( Thus once again:
As you have written your current configuration is the reason for your web-apps being deployed to all virtual-servers and not being served when entering any URL without a context-path. This can cause a very poor startup performance (especially when using Spring - I've stumbled upon this myself). Thus you have to take great care of these settings!
Please let us know whether this solved your problem.
