Tomcat "virtuelle server"

Hi there,

i want redirect 2 different DNS-names to one Tomcat on one server. The
DNS-names has 2 different destinations inside the webapps-directory. We
can´t not insert the whole path in the dns, so i need a other sulution for
my problem.

There's no reason to add the complexity of httpd to do this.  All you need is two <Host> elements in Tomcat's conf/server.xml, one for each registered DNS name.  Each <Host> element should have a unique value for its appBase attribute, pointing to separate web application directories for each.  Name the default application ROOT for each and you're done.  No extra components to install, configure, and maintain.

Look here for the full doc:

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/host.html

I'd go for using apache2 for doing the virtual host stuff and mod_jk
for linking it to your tomcat installation, this should make your
desired setup rather straightforward. In example, see here

for more. :)

Cheers,
