Hi;
I have a system running Apache 1.3.26, mod_jk and Tomcat 4.1.12.
Apache has a number of name-based virtual hosts confgured, of which 2
are setup to route jsp and servlet requests to a ajp13 connector (called
'ajp13'). ajp13 is setup to use a single tomcat instance running on
localhost at port 8009. Tomcat itself is setup with seperate <Host ...>
</Host> for each of the two corresponding front-end apache virtual
hosts.
My Question;
What kind of code seperation does the Tomcat <Host..></Host> facility
provide?
In other words; what (if any) kind of safety and security mechanisms
exist to ensure that code running under <Host name=www.a.com ...></Host>
from <Host name=www.b.com ...></Host>
I found the following excerpt in the Tomcat 3.2 doumentation;
"We want different virtual hosts served by different Tomcat processes to
provide a clear separation between sites belonging to different
companies"
Can anyone explain what this means?
Cheers & TIA
Chris
