Thanks Gordon If you already have contexts like mysite_com and you have reasons for adding httpd and mod_jk, then yes, that would be the way to go. The RewriteRule is a bit underspecified though, it would also apply to URLs, which already start with /mysite_com/. You can use RewriteCond with a ! to check against not starting with /mysite_com/. You miht run into trouble with cookies and redirects. Have a look at http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/generic_howto/proxy.html#URL Rewriting concerning more info about those.

Re: How to Map domain to a context using Mod_jk
I want to be able to add new domains without restarting Tomcat. In tomcat adding a VirtualHost would require a restart. I believe I can add a VirtualHost in Apache without a restart. If I could redirect that to a webapp context in Tomcat I think I can add those without a restart. Is that the way to accomplish that?

RE: How to Map domain to a context using Mod_jk
Really great. So just so I understand, I want to host users sites where they have their own domain. I want to be able to deploy their webapp, for their domain in my server without the restarting the Tomcat server. I also want to automate the process. I thought a restart was needed because VirtualHost config is in the server.xml. So are you saying using host-manager I could add the new VirtualHost, but I would also need to add it to server.xml because the host-manager changes would be lost at restart? If so that would make everything simpler. Thanks.

RE: How to Map domain to a context using Mod_jk
From: gpike [mailto:gop...@gmail.com] Subject: RE: How to Map domain to a context using Mod_jk I thought a restart was needed because VirtualHost config is in the server.xml. Tomcat has APIs for pretty much everything, and these are used by the parser for server.xml to create the internal objects, including those for each Host. The host-manager webapp does the same. So are you saying using host-manager I could add the new VirtualHost, but I would also need to add it to server.xml because the host-manager changes would be lost at restart? Adding it to server.xml is one way; you could also keep track of the additional hosts separately and just call the host-manager webapp with the necessary data to add each one at Tomcat startup. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
