This is for Tomcat 10.x (master branch).

Re: Tomcat 9 : Unable to specify wildcard care name in Host

[Tom Chiverton]

I'd like to propose some changes to the docs, but can not locate their 
source to submit a request.


For instance, in https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/config/host.html

"If the name takes the form of |*.domainname| (e.g. |*.apache.org|) then 
it will be treated as a match for any host in that domain unless a host 
that has an exactly matching name is found."


would be clearer as

"The name can not contain a wildcard (e.g. |*.apache.org|), this is only 
valid in an Alias."


And then in 
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/config/host.html#Host_Name_Aliases


"Aliases may also use the wildcard form (|*.domainname|) permitted for 
the *name* attribute of a *Host*."


to

"Aliases may also use the wildcard form (|*.domainname|), unlike for the 
name attribute of a Host**."

Yes.

The relevant part is:

"Aliases may also use the wildcard form"

Alias is a sub-element of Host. The name element of Host needs to use a
valid host name.

Tomcat 9 : Unable to specify wildcard care name in Host

[Tom Chiverton]

The docs at https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/config/host.html 
say I should be able to use a name attribute starting "*." to use 
wildcard hosts in Tomcat's server.xml


I have downloaded the 9.0.37 distribution and replaced the default



...



with


  


  

however Tomcat fails to deploy, logging "SEVERE [main] 
org.apache.tomcat.util.modeler.Registry.registerComponent Error 
registering MBean" ultimately "Caused by: 
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Repository: cannot add mbean for 
pattern name Catalina:type=Host,host=*.dev.foo.co.uk


Am I mis-reading the docs ?
