Obviously DNS has to be handled no matter what you do. The rest depends on how you are deploying the resulting sites. If they can be deployed all under one (the Engine's default) <Host />, then you can probably get away with a Filter that plays traffic cop and forwards requests to the correct web-app based on the Host header. Otherwise, you would probably need to use JMX to dynamically add a new <Host /> and persist it to server.xml (with appropriate syncs). In the second case, it may even be worth looking into an Embedded TC, so you don't have to store the <Host /> info in server.xml. > I have been reading around but no good solution have I found.

You need some form of file-replecation whatever you do. If you can use the defaultHost method, then the Filter needs some way to update it's list of installed hosts. If you go the JMX route, then you need a notification method (for a small cluster, raw JMX might work, for a large cluster, you probably need to write some kind of multi-castor notification). > > -- > Kind regards, > £ukasz £apiñski > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
