URL context mapping

[Jon Wanlass <jw...@trakit-gps.com>]

Hello List – 

 

We have 100+ clients all with their own **identical** context in the webapps dir.  We would like to merge all contexts into one in order to soften memory requirements and make it more manageable.  We have tried using the docbase attribute in the context.xml but found that it still stores its own class copies in memory not reducing our memory requirements by much.  So my question is:

 

Is there an easy way to map URLs including contexts (i.e. client.ourCompany.com/client ) to the same context?  

 

We cannot simply change the URL for everyone to the same URL with the same context because we have thousands of mobile devices in the field pointing to the original URL  (i.e. “company1.ourcompany.com/company1”) and they are not easy to update.

 

Thanks,

 

Jon Wanlass

This sounds like a really, really bad idea.  Doing such a merge will
cause an outage for all clients if any of them has a hiccup.  Memory is
cheap; why not buy some, if that's really the problem?

You can write a valve or filter to redirect or forward requests to
whatever URL you want.
