Hi Jan,
thanks for your answer. Ok now the behavior is clear.
With 'using alternate docroots' do you mean the declaration of alternate docroorts in the sun-web.xml deployment descriptor?
It would be a solution. But initially I wanted to avoid coding directory informations into the deployment descriptor.
