Re: tomcat - How to forward request to some webapp while using port 80 without virtual host, without apache

Peter, you should decide what you want, and whether the way in which to do it, is more important for you than the goal that you want to reach, or vice-versa. From what I understand, the final result that you want to achieve is that 1) there is only one Tomcat server instance 2) when a client calls up http://client1.company.com/, this ends up being served by the application /client1 3) when a client calls up http://client2.company.com/, this ends up being served by the application /client2 The easiest and most natural way to do this, is by using Virtual Hosts, and have client1 and client2 being in fact the ROOT webapps of each of these virtual hosts. Like this : DNS : a.b.c.d client1.company.com a.b.c.d client2.company.com (same IP for both) Tomcat connectors : listen on the IP address a.b.c.d Tomcat virtual hosts : First, the default host (it is already there, nothing to change) Host name=localhost appBase=(tomcat_dir)/webapps .. .. here you host Tomcat's standard webapps (just leave them where they are) /Host Then you add the following 2 Hosts : Host name=client1.company.com appBase=/dir1/webapps ... ... here you host the client1 webapp, renamed to ROOT, as in /dir1/webapps/ROOT/.. /Host Host name=client2.company.com appBase=/dir2/webapps ... ... here you host the client2 webapp, renamed to ROOT, as in /dir2/webapps/ROOT/.. /Host This is a still single Tomcat. The fact of using virtual hosts does not mean that there are more than 1 Tomcat. It is the same single Tomcat serving all 3 above virtual hosts. It just changes its personality depending on how the client gets to it (by the name). But, in the subject of your message, you say that you do not want virtual hosts. That's a pity, because any other way of doing what you seem to want to do, is a lot more complicated, and a lot more complicated still to get right in all cases. So, once again, *why* do you not want virtual hosts ? If you do not really care, then I suggest that you start a new message thread, with a different title where you do not exclude virtual hosts from the start, and just explain what you want to achieve in the end, without excluding any particular solution right away. For the rest, apart from the on-line Tomcat documentation, there are also books and articles available : http://tomcat.apache.org/resources.html. If what you want is to have someone spoon feed a complete configuration to you, that will work in your case without any effort on your part, then you should consider hiring a paid consultant.

Because that is the usual (and most natural) way of doing the kind of thing that you want. Other than virtual hosts, you can do as Chuck suggests, and use a servlet filter in the ROOT webapp to re-direct, but it is almost guaranteed to give you headaches later on, when your pages will contain self-referencing URLs and the like. Or else, it will be very inefficient, because you will have 2 round-trips to the browser for each access. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
