Andre,
Exactly. Those were some of my questions as well. Right now though I'm setting up all Apache
named virtual hosts to Tomcat virtual hosts so that the names match.
Apache HTTPD
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName somehost.somewhere.com
ServerAlias somehost
# more stuff
</VirtualHost>
Tomcat server.xml
<Host name="ahost" appBase="some-absolute-path">
<Alias>somehost.somewhere.com</Alias>
<!-- more stuff -->
</Host>
I don't map the default host (left at localhost). Based on what I've read so far, the cookies
should come back in a sane fashion. I may have to flip the Tomcat <Host> name attribute
and <Alias> element around to have a completely clean installation. This will make CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/<name>
a bit ugly, but I can live with that.
I should set this up with a test web application with cookies and watch the entire mess with
Firedebug.
Thanks for a great discussion.
. . . . just my (less confused) two cents.
