Why it is so bad? The implementation was faster then the revert mapper
state. What is a better way to implement this feature?
The optimization is just a ploy to force feed us with the feature. As I
said, using a slightly different algorithm for "exact" (with or without
case sensitivity) matches may be a good idea, but it is completely
separate from the feature addition itself. I think the implementation
provided of the algorithm could likely be cleaner (= more generic).
The wild card alias usage is very useful for tomcat hoster. Now the
customer can use
a new host subdomain without change the server.xml. Very nice and the
admin must do nothing.
And the usefulness of that is non existent as well. What's the purpose
of "adding" hosts if they are all the same ?
Easy: Hoster has installed the site with mydomain.net and later your
customer want www.mydomain.net, foto.mydomain.net, or you have an
application
(blog,wiki,cms) that people can register and then there get an own
universe (new subdomain). Currently I add new Alias to the Host section and
save the server.xml without context.xml writing ( feature from new
storeconfig module).
With the same webapps ? (with what you describe, you can access those
virtual virtual host any way you want, and it serves no purpose, as they
will all look the same) This will almost never happen. In all other
cases (which are bound to happen more often) deployment steps are
needed. Why add this crap for nothing ?
Other scenario: what if you have a.foo.com and b.foo.com, and you want
to add an alias for a and an alias for b. Oops, sorry I guess ... This
just proves it is a special purpose feature, and the person should do
its own customization.
