Just wanted to close this out for anyone searching in the future.
I believe I have found the correct configuration for my <Host>. I am
still testing, but initial tests are positive.
Changing:
<Host name="www.domain1.com" appBase="/path/to/domain1.com">
<Alias>domain1.com</Alias>
<Context path="" docBase="/path/to/domain1.com/"
useHttpOnly="true" allowLinking="true" />
</Host>
To:
<Host name="www.domain1.com" appBase="/path/to/domain1.com"
deployOnStartup="true" autoDeploy="false" deployIgnore=".*">
<Alias>domain1.com</Alias>
<Context path="" docBase="/path/to/domain1.com/"
useHttpOnly="true" allowLinking="true" />
</Host>
I'm not sure that I need to have the "deployOnStartup" as docs seem to
indicate
that defaults to true. I set the autoDeploy to false because each
host/domain directory
only has one application (ROOT) and we will never be dropping in a war file
for tomcat to deploy
within that host. I set the deployIgnore to base wildcard so that when the
application
does deploy on startup (base root app) - it will skip the subfolders and we
no longer have
the "INFO: Deploying web application directory /path/to/domain1.com/images"
in the logs.
Again, initial tests are showing CFM pages being processed (we even keep
modules and
components in subfolders - which are no longer being "deployed") accurately.
Hope this helps someone in the future.
Thanks for the initial tips on where to look for this resolution Matthew!
Thanks,
Alan Cole
