creating user url...
Hi fellas,
I am looking to develop the following and would be grateful if anyone can
offer any assistance as to how I can make it happen - what do i have to read
up on etc. ive developed my app in jsf/hibernate and spring and i have this
still to work out.
I would like to give users access from their own url e.g.
www.domain-name.com/~companyname which should be set automatically upon
registration (if that is possible). Would be hosting on tomcat.
Any advice would be appreciated.
thanks
kace

You can create directories using the java.io package. Unless you're going to
store a lot of per company info like images and such, using the getPathInfo
is the better solution. Even if you want to store per company data, you can
store all such files in one directory with ids stored in a database. So for
instance if you want to store logo.png for each company, you'll have a
directory called "logo" and a database table called logo with company id as
a key and logo id as another column. Then you can use the logo id as part of
the file name.

I have never implemented such a solution but I know a lot of sites have
similar setup. There are two ways you could do it, one would be to create a
directory for each company and then drop an index.jsp file in there . A
second and perhaps better solution would be to get the path info of the
request from javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest.getPathInfo().
so in essence whenever a request comes to your servlet, getPathInfo would
extract the part that has the company name. Google to get further info.
