Hi,
My best guess is: yes, you need a different role for every conext. If you
want one username for different context I think you should use:
<user name="admin" password="admin" roles="admin, ctxt1, ctxt2, ..."/>
But I'm not sure about this. I don't think this is well documented either.
Any ideas are appreciated.
About "Alias", "Context" and "ApJServMount":
--------------------------------------------
- The Alias directive allows documents to be stored in the local filesystem
other than under the DocumentRoot. URLs with a (%-decoded) path beginning
with url-path will be mapped to local files beginning with
directory-filename.
Example:
Alias /image /ftp/pub/image
A request for http://myserver/image/foo.gif would cause the server to return
the file /ftp/pub/image/foo.gif.
(from Apache manual)
- ApJServMount mounts a zone to a URL. It connects Apache to JServ/Tomcat.
For more info about this you should read the documentation that comes with
JServ
- Each Context represents a path in the Tomcat hierarchy where you place a
web application.
regards,
Kenneth
