[jira] Commented: (GERONIMO-845) Jetty support for virtual servers

["David Jencks (JIRA)" <de...@geronimo.apache.org>]

David Jencks commented on GERONIMO-845:
---------------------------------------

Does virtual server == virtual host?  If so, there is an impedance mismatch between jetty and tomcat.  Jetty allows you to set an array of virtual host names for a web app, whereas tomcat allows you to set a single host, and then add aliases to the host.  Offhand I don't see how to reconcile these two models and think it may be better to respect the differences and include a custom xml element in the geronimo-web plan.  In general I find the current extension method in geronimo-web unsatisfactory and think we need to evaluate putting an "any" element in with specialized xml builders or using schema inheritance to support multiple web containers.

ps. I thought there already was an jira entry for this issue but can't find it at the moment.

> Currently, Tomcat provides virtual server support via a container-specific configuration extension.  However, our Jetty container implementation should also support virtual servers, and then we should switch to using a top-level XML element in geronimo-web.xml to hold the virtual server name.
