TOMCAT + JK + VIRTUAL HOST

[eul-duv]

Hi all !

i'm trying to create a kind of virtual hosting with tomcat:
my config:

1- my domain= www.mydomain.com
2- my webapp= /mywebapp
3- Directories:
/mywebapp/WEB-INF/
/mywebapp/images/
/mywebapp/admin/index.jsp
/mywebapp/index.jsp


if i do: www.mydomain.com:8080/mywebapp/index.jsp all is fine

3- my other domain= admin.mydomain.com

i woud like that "admin.mydomain.com:8080/index.jsp"
goes directly to: /mywebapp/admin/index.jsp

anyone have an idea ? thanks in advance !

1st, set up your hosts in Tomcat using the <Host> tags in server.xml. Then
in each one create the context that makes your program work. Ignore the
fact that both hosts/contexts are pointing at the same actual .war file.

So. Alongside any current hosts have:

<Host name="www.mydomain.com" debug="0" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="false">
<Context path="" docBase="/mywebapp" debug="0">
</Context>
</Host>

<Host name="admin.mydomain.com" debug="0" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="false">
<Context path="" docBase="/mywebapp/admin" debug="0">
</Context>
</Host>

Let me know if this does not work for you and I'll see what's wrong.

Thank you for your response.

The problem is that context "/mywebapp" and "/mywebapp/admin" are now
differents.
I'd like to have only ONE web.xml for those contexts.

is there a possibility to make http://www.mydomain.com:8080/admin/index.jsp
AND http://admin.mydomain.com:8080/index.jsp
the same thing...?

The following means that:

http://www.mydomain.com:8080/
http://www.mydomain.com:8080/admin/
and
http://admin.mydomain.com:8080/

Are all accessing the same thing.
then because they are all accessing the one web.xml file you cannot assign
different startup files to them. BUT If you really need the functionality
you are after you could at this point put in a JSP which checks the URL
forwards you to a different URL if(strUrl.indexOf("admin") != -1).

<Host name="www.mydomain.com" debug="0" appBase="webapps">
<Context path="" docBase="/mywebapp" debug="0">
<Context path-"/admin" docBase"/mywebapp">
</Context>
</Host>
<Host name="admin.mydomain.com" debug="0" appBase="webapps">
<Context path="" docBase="/mywebapp" debug="0">
</Context>
</Host>


But you have restricted yourself to doing this with a decision making page
by having the same web.xml / application for both admin and user app.

Let me know,

Andoni.
