Help with setting up aliases , it kind of works , but the getRealPath does not

[Randy Paries <ra...@unitnet.com>]

Hello
I will try to be brief
I am running apache 2, tomcat 5
 
I currently have this configuration
 
/home/topdomain                    =  www.topdomain.com
/home/topdomain/subdomain1  =  sub1.topdomain.com
/home/topdomain/subdomain2  =  sub2.topdomain.com
 
under each subdomain i have users. ie
/home/topdomain/subdomain1/usera  =  http://sub1.topdomain.com/usera
 
So this kind of works. All these subdomains, (I will actually have 5) all
share the exact code, and i really do not 
want to have 5 exact instances of this running.
 
The problem i am seeing getrealPath problems. For example, when i allow the
user to upload a file, i take his virt dir and do a getrealPath to get the
real physical path so i can upload it to the correct place. So if i am usera
on b1.topdomain.com 
and do a String realRPPath = application.getRealPath("/"+user.getDir());
I get /home/topdomain/usera and not /home/topdomain/subdomain1/usera

I hope this makes sense
 
in my server.xml i have
        <Host name="www.topdomain.com <http://www.topdomain.com/> "
debug="0" appBase="/home/topdomain" unpackWARs="true">
                <Alias>sub1.topdomain.com</Alias>
                <Alias>sub2.topdomain.com</Alias>
        </Host>
