Edoardo, The websites can be added and edited dynamically by the corresponding owners. I am buidling something like Blogger.com. Where users can edit their websites and published it. The engine is built using Tapestry.
Currently, I am using a servlet filter to forward Http requests to the corresponding directories based on the subdomain. I think using virtual hosts in tomcat would be a cleaner solution. The reason for using Tomcat is simply ease of use, and I can dynamically configure Tomcat using JMX (e.g. to add subdomain). Also, I have read that using Tomcat to serve static HTML isnt really any slower compare to Apache HTTP Server. I wanted to find out from the Tomcat user commnunity if anyone is using Tomcat with a large amount of virtual hosts. If anyone has any experience on this, I will greatly appreciate if you can shed some light. Thanks. On 8/26/06, Edoardo Panfili <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
