RE: Mapping /BAH/ to /
Howdy, That's a context path clash: you need to ensure unique context paths for your apps across hosts. For example, use reports and reports2, or salesReports and itReports, or whatever, as long as they're different. Keep the two hosts with separate appBases (which can be absolute directories if you wish, BTW, or relative e.g. webapps/IT and webapps/Sales).

No errors when I start tomcat and the log records deployments within the second deploy directory, but I cannot access those webapps. EG, if I deploy reports.war in the first (default) deploy directory of webapps, I can access it at http://localhost:8080/reports but if I only deploy reports.war in the secondary deploy directory (without putting it in the first), going to the same URL returns nothing. Can one set up two Host configurations even if they only have one domain name (as is the case with me). If not, how else can one set up two different deploy directories? -Original Message- From: Green, Jeffrey Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2004 3:25 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Mapping /BAH/ to / Hrm... Tried this and it doesn't quite work for me. In my server.xml, I have one Host defined. Setting its appBase=BAR simply requires all webapps to be in the $TOMCAT_HOME/BAR directory instead of the $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory. The user (at the browser) sees none of this since the path to a webapp is not http://localhost:8080/webapps/myApp.war but is instead http://localhost:8080/myApp.war. Thus, changing the appBase has no effect on what the user sees, only where the files are stored. I must have worded my question wrong. Say for example, we have mycompany.com who has two divisions - Sales and IT. Each wants to use JSP / Servlets, but they want different deploy directories and different paths visible to the user. Thus, sales wants all of its webapps to be at http://mycompany.com:8080/Sales/someSalesWebapp/foo.jsp http://mycompany.com:8080/Sales/anotherSalesWebapp/foo2.jsp Whereas IT wants all of its webapps to be at http://mycompany.com:8080/IT/someITWebapp/bar.jsp http://mycompany.com:8080/IT/anotherITWebapp/bar2.jsp Sales people can copy their .war files to the $SALES_DEPLOY directory and their webapps will be deployed to the /Sales/ space. IT people can copy their .war files to the $IT_DEPLOY directory and their webapps will be deployed to the /IT space. Is such a configuration possible? :) All advice has and will be a huge help.

Mapping /BAH/ to /
Hi all. Quick question regarding Tomcat. I'd like to create a mapping such that all requests to http://hostname:8080/FOO/ http://hostname:8080/FOO/ are forwarded to http://hostname:8080/ http://hostname:8080/ in a transparent manner (to the user, at least). Thus, if there is a JSP at http://hostname:8080/FOO/bar/Page.jsp http://hostname:8080/FOO/bar/Page.jsp , users can access it by either going to that URL or to this url: http://hostname:8080/bar/Page.jsp http://hostname:8080/bar/Page.jsp . (Where BAR is the name of the webapp). Does anyone know if / how this can be done? I know one can implement such functionality using Valves, but I seek a simpler solution (if there is one).

RE: Mapping /BAH/ to /
Hrm... Tried this and it doesn't quite work for me. In my server.xml, I have one Host defined. Setting its appBase=BAR simply requires all webapps to be in the $TOMCAT_HOME/BAR directory instead of the $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory. The user (at the browser) sees none of this since the path to a webapp is not http://localhost:8080/webapps/myApp.war but is instead http://localhost:8080/myApp.war. Thus, changing the appBase has no effect on what the user sees, only where the files are stored. I must have worded my question wrong. Say for example, we have mycompany.com who has two divisions - Sales and IT. Each wants to use JSP / Servlets, but they want different deploy directories and different paths visible to the user. Thus, sales wants all of its webapps to be at http://mycompany.com:8080/Sales/someSalesWebapp/foo.jsp http://mycompany.com:8080/Sales/anotherSalesWebapp/foo2.jsp Whereas IT wants all of its webapps to be at http://mycompany.com:8080/IT/someITWebapp/bar.jsp http://mycompany.com:8080/IT/anotherITWebapp/bar2.jsp Sales people can copy their .war files to the $SALES_DEPLOY directory and their webapps will be deployed to the /Sales/ space. IT people can copy their .war files to the $IT_DEPLOY directory and their webapps will be deployed to the /IT space. Is such a configuration possible? :) All advice has and will be a huge help.

Quick question regarding Tomcat. I'd like to create a mapping such that all requests to http://hostname:8080/FOO/ http://hostname:8080/FOO/ are forwarded to http://hostname:8080/ http://hostname:8080/ in a transparent manner (to the user, at least). Thus, if there is a JSP at http://hostname:8080/FOO/bar/Page.jsp http://hostname:8080/FOO/bar/Page.jsp , users can access it by either going to that URL or to this url: http://hostname:8080/bar/Page.jsp http://hostname:8080/bar/Page.jsp . (Where BAR is the name of the webapp). Does anyone know if / how this can be done? I know one can implement such functionality using Valves, but I seek a simpler solution (if there is one).

RE: Mapping /BAH/ to /
Tried setting up two hosts as Yoav suggested. No errors when I start tomcat and the log records deployments within the second deploy directory, but I cannot access those webapps. EG, if I deploy reports.war in the first (default) deploy directory of webapps, I can access it at http://localhost:8080/reports but if I only deploy reports.war in the secondary deploy directory (without putting it in the first), going to the same URL returns nothing. Can one set up two Host configurations even if they only have one domain name (as is the case with me). If not, how else can one set up two different deploy directories? -Original Message- From: Green, Jeffrey Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2004 3:25 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Mapping /BAH/ to / Hrm...
