Two URLs, One Web Site
I have an interesting problem. I've been handed two websites that are
nearly identical. The problem is my company made a copy of the first
website and "re-branded" it to provide a customized version for a
client. I'm sick of maintaining two code bases, so I've started to
construct a single site that will play both roles using CSS and message
bundles.
This solution works fine for 99% of the pages, except for a couple items
that fall outside my expertise. Your advise, or a pointer to where I
should conduct more homework would be greatly appreciated.
I need to maintain two URLs for the site, and each one should point to a
different home page. www.companyA.com should point to a customized home
page. The other URL, www.companyB.com should point to a different
customized home page. Once inside the site, each company's users will
view the same pages (customized using CSS and message bundles) but each
company's URL must be maintained throughout the site.
Is this a function that Tomcat can perform, or do I need to broaden my
study? Thanks for your advice.

If you are using apache. Using mod_rewrite is a very easy way to fix the
doorway problem. For example:
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
ServerName www.companyA.com
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule .+ /companyA_index.html [L,R=302]
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
ServerName www.companyB.com
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule .+ /companyB_index.html [L,R=302]
</VirtualHost>
Otherwise - use a ServletFilter to trap the incoming requests and
redirect/forward to the alternate pages as needed.

Hi James,
Can you explain exactly what the 1% you need help with is?
