In Tomcat 3.3 I have made changes to ApacheConfig.java to try
to address this. I think with Tomcat 3.2.2 you will need to
do the Apache part manually, which it seems you may already
be doing.
I haven't done much with Vhosts on Apache beyond my tests
while playing with ApacheConfig. If I am in error, someone
let me know. It is my understanding that what you want is:
server.xml
<Host name="www.foo.com" >
<Context ... />
</Host>
httpd.conf or an include:
NameVirtualHost 111.22.33.44
<VirtualHost 111.22.33.44 >
ServerName www.foo.com
...
</VirtualHost>
For me, this works under Tomcat 3.3. Both "http://111.22.33.44/...";
and "http://www.foo.com/..."; come over to Tomcat as "www.foo.com".
I haven't tried this with Tomcat 3.2.x. I also haven't tried this
with *nix, just Win2k and Win98.
One additional note. I had lots of trouble dealing with the "root"
contexts. Your httpd.conf below says the "root" context (i.e.
DocumentRoot) is at "/usr/local/apache/htdocs" and Tomcat thinks
it is at "/usr/local/apache/servlets". I think this situation is
ripe for problems. Not knowing your application, it is hard to say
what the best approach would be.
