Restrict access to a webapps folder based on ip
I was wondering if it was possible to restrict access to a certain webapps folder based on the ip the packet was coming from. So if .../webapps/app1 was for an intranet site with all ip's within a certian range having access, and /webapps/app2 for a web-site allowing machines with any ip. Does this make sense to anyone? And if so is there a better solution to hosting two applications on the same server...???Two instances of Tomcat...different ports?? I am currently running Tomcat 4.0.6 standalone... - Do you Yahoo!?

Tomcat specific: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/config/valve.html Portable: Write a Filter which accepts/rejects based on the request ip. This could be configured statically through init parameters within web.xml or by JMX (or other means) on the fly ;) caveat: ip addresses can be spoofed :( HTH, Jon Joshua Russell wrote: I was wondering if it was possible to restrict access to a certain webapps folder based on the ip the packet was coming from.

Well, you may want to restrict the servlet access, not the folder access. It could be accomplished by a servlet filter for instance, which allow access only if the IP are within a certain range...
