I have been learning how to configure Apache and Tomcat for a specific configuration. What I have is mutliple virtual hosts in the Apache configuration for several websites. What I would like to do is reconfigure it so I can place many JSPs on any of these virtual hosts and have them handled by Tomcat within a common set of shared beans and taglibs.
So far it seems that this is not very common and I not sure it is even possible. The JSP spec wants each JSP mapped to a specific webapp so that sessions can be managed among other things, but if I could have Tomcat handle each JSP and map it to a default webapp then I would be able to allow users to create and edit their own JSP and I can provide beans and taglibs they can use to create article editors, photo galleries, schedules and anything else that users would find useful. I want them to have the freedom to customize each JSP to their tastes but benefit from the Java library I put together. I suppose the catch is that the JSPs would not be under the webapps directory for Tomcat. They would be under the Apache document root while the webapp would exist elsewhere. This is the detail I having trouble resolving. Any ideas on configuring such a configuration? Any opinions if I should do this or if I should go another way?
