I am considering creating another Host in my Tomcat server and creating another .war file with static content for that additional host. So the links to static content generated by my primary application will point to the domain name of this new host. Here are the two hostnames for example:
app.example.com static1.example.com Here is an article discussing this general technique (not Tomcat specific): http://www.yuiblog.com/blog/2007/04/11/performance-research-part-4/ Creating the new Host elements is no problem and creating new DNS aliases that refer to those Hosts is also no problem. My issue is that my application requires a login and I only want to expose those static resources to someone who has logged into the primary application. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to accomplish that? Or is this the wrong approach entirely? One thing I thought might be possible would be to append a session Id onto the url's of the images located on the static content host and then just create a Filter that would check that id somehow. That's pretty much as far as I've got; any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
