Tomcat multiple sub domain names configuration

[Ridwan <ri...@chemwatch.net>]

Hi,

I Need some help. I have Java applications running in Apache Tomcat
6.0.16 from port 80 from a Windows 2003 server. It can be accessed say
by the URL http://site1.mycompany.net/MyApplication where MyApplication
is actually a Java application folder name under the
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ path. It hosts few other Java application
folders under the same.

But now I want the URL http://site2.mycompany.net to go directly to the
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/MyApplication folder. How do I do it?

Both the sub domains of mycompany.net, that is, site1.mycompany.net and
site2.mycompany.net point to the same IP address of the server. Now
typing both of those will just bring the Tomcat's home page from the
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT folder.

Thanks and Regards
Ridwan Ahmed

Either create a new host in server.xml with a different appBase or check for
the request url and perform a redirect

The easiest way is to simply delete Tomcat's ROOT directory, and rename MyApplication to ROOT.

If you want to do it the hard way and keep the Tomcat default page for site1, you'll need to configure virtual hosting:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/virtual-hosting-howto.html

You'll need to have separate appBase directories for the two <Host>s.  You can deploy your webapp as ROOT in the site2 host, or you could have a dummy ROOT webapp that just redirects to site1/MyApplication.
