Hi All,
I'm trying to get tomcat to auto-recognize that I have new java
applications (e.g. a new WEB-INF) in a sub-directory for my virtual
hosts.. I'd like to make it so that I don't have to edit my server.xml
every time I add a new app within some domain/sub domain... is this
possible?
quickie background:
- Linux Fedora Core 4, apache 2.0.54, tomcat 5, mod_jk running nicely...
- all my domains and sub-domains are in /var/www/vhosts/<domain>
e.g. /var/www/vhosts/example1.com/htdocs/<java stuff> (java
stuff = jsp files, WEB-INF directory, etc)
e.g. /var/www/vhosts/example2.com/htdocs/<java stuff> (java
stuff = jsp files, WEB-INF directory, etc)
e.g. /var/www/vhosts/example2.com/sub-domain/cool/htdocs/<java
stuff> (java stuff = jsp files, WEB-INF directory, etc)
(the sub domain example would be: http://cool.example2.com)
....and so on...
I'd like to be able to add a new domain or sub domain, simply drop my
app (associated jsps and WEB-INF stuff) into the appropriate directory
of the new domain or sub domain, restart tomcat and *poof* have it
work....
so my server.xml snippet looks like this:
-- I tried having defaultHost = localhost.. didn't really work, when I
tried sub-domains I got "no host matches server name"
-- My logic behind putting the "appBase" to vhosts, was so that tomcat
could scan everything after that, and thus when it encounters a WEB-INF
it would make it a context.. but not sure how that context would map to
a specific domain... (hence the "deployOnStartup" = true)
-- I added a context for example1.com which works.. but don't want to
have to add one every time...
<Engine name="PSA" defaultHost="example1.com" debug="0">
<Host deployXML="true" name="example1.com" debug="0"
appBase="/var/www/vhosts" unpackWARs="false" autoDeploy="true"
liveDeploy="true" deployOnStartup="true">
<!-- added a context, but don't want to.. -->
<Context crossContext="false"
reloadable="false" useNaming="true" debug="0"
swallowOutput="false"
privileged="true" displayName="my app"
docBase="/var/www/vhosts/example1.com/htdocs" cookies="true"
path="" cachingAllowed="true"/>
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.MemoryRealm"
debug="0" pathname="my-users/example1.com.xml" validate="true"/>
<Alias>
www.example1.com
</Alias>
</Host>
</Engine>
...also, wondering about cooperation between apache and tomcat...
thanks in advance,
Mike
