RE: tomcat as a standalone webserver
You can either use the Alias container in server.xml to alias www.xyz.com to localhost, or you can use the Host container to create as many virtual hosts as you want. The Host container for localhost in server.xml is a Tomcat virtual host. It just happens to be called localhost but it could be called anything. To create a separate virtual host from the one already given (localhost), simply copy the Host/Host container that's already there and everything in between, and edit to your specifications. Lots more in the docs: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/host.html John -Original Message- From: krip pane [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, February 01, 2003 5:08 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: tomcat as a standalone webserver John, Thanks for the info, in reference to teh 2nd question about (setting up www.xyz.com asa url instead of the localhost)could you elaborate more on how that can be done or point to some documentation.

Question is what is the advantage of running tomcat and apache (as a webserver)with some connector (such as mod_jk) as opposed to running tomcat alone as a web server. Also, is it possible to create virtual web servers with tomcat similarly to apache. I want to install tomcat and give it an www.xyz.com name instead of the default server name as the URL.
