[jboss-user] [Tomcat, HTTPD, Servlets & JSP] JNDI for virtual hosts

Hello,
Does anyone know how to configure a different JNDI namespace for each 
virtual host that uses the same WAR in JBoss? This can be done with 
stand alone Tomcat using context.xml fragments under 
CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/www.site1.com/ROOT.xml

<Context>
   <Environment description="Unique Host ID" name="siteId" 
type="java.lang.String" value="site1"/>
</Context>

I can then give each virtual host it's own siteId so that it accesses 
the correct rows from a shared database.

This doesn't seem to work with Tomcat embedded in JBoss. The closest I 
have found so far is jboss-web.xml under WEB-INF inside the WAR, but 
there doesn't seem to be a way to set up each virtual host with separate 
data. It would also be difficult to add new sites without having to edit 
jboss-web.xml and restart/reload.

Does anyone know how this can be achieved?

Thanks,

Steve
