Sorry if this is a FAQ, Can mod_jk be configured so that multiple apache sites running on the same host, but using different ports, can connect to a single tomcat server, yet view different contexts? some examples A production line http://www.foo.com:8080/jsp/hello.jsp ---> /devel/foo/jsp/hello.jsp http://www.foo.com:8081/jsp/hello.jsp ---> /test/foo/jsp/hello.jsp http://www.foo.com:80/jsp/hello.jsp ---> /prod/foo/jsp/hello.jsp differing levels of security http://www.foo.com:80/jsp/hello.jsp ---> /foo/public/jsp/hello.jsp http://www.foo.com:443/jsp/hello.jsp ---> /foo/secure/jsp/hello.jsp http://www.foo.com:8888/jsp/hello.jsp ---> /foo/client/jsp/hello.jsp I'm using mod_jk (ajp13) to communicate between apache and tomcat. In each case the Apache httpd.conf/mod_jk.conf command for these contexts is JkMount /jsp/*.jsp ajp13 On the tomcat side, in server.xml, the <Context> config is, say <Host name="www.foo.com"> <Context path="/j1" docBase="/devel/foo/jsp" crossContext="false" debug="0" reloadable="true" > </Context> </Host> The following variations on the <Host> statement, don't seem to work... <Host name="www.foo.com:8080"> <Host name="www.foo.com" port="8080"> I guess the real question is whether Apache includes the Listen port in its ajp13 request to Tomcat, and whether Tomcat can use this to select the appropriate context to use. ==> Can anyone confirm or deny that DNS host name or IP address is the only ==> way to differentiate Apache servers connecting to Tomcat? Thanks in advance for any help on this. Please reply to the list, as I do read it. I realize the question has been asked in a few forms before, but often in the context of Tomcat being the standalone server. And the answers have been a little unclear. I'll admit to having had read the documentation, tried a few things, read through the ContextManager.java code (I think this is the right place for parsing the server.xml info) and I'm not very optimistic that there is a way to do this. But as a last resort, maybe the mailing list has some thoughts? Regards, Dave Benjamin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
