creating virtual hosts - HOW TO?
I am attempting to create multiple discreet web apps, each of whom can
listen to their own URLs for page requests. Here's an example of what I've
done for each webApp (virtual host):
<Host name="www.hotel.us" appbase="webapps/hotel" debug="10">
<Context path="/hotel" docBase="hotel" debug="10" />
</Host>
But, I am getting a 500 error with the message "No Context configured to
process this request". It sees to be at least redirecting the requests for
the specified URLs correctly (away from the default webapp) ... but I'm
getting that darned 500 error ... dispite specifying the Context node.
grrr....
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

You can forward everything to the action servlet in struts and achieve your
objective. Once again, look at struts, or maybe Jason Hunter's book on
servlets and the Model 2 architecture. That is the key to what you want.

Are you referring to the action servlet of Struts?
I just want the default URL to be www.hotel.us rather than
www.hotel.us/index.html. Granted, they mean the same thing (if index.html
is the default page) ... I just thought it was more graceful for it show
only the URL where possible.
Is there something else you were referring to that I'm not aware of?
Thanks.

Just one last thing.
Perhaps this is getting picky but ...
currently, Tomcat will forward the URL to the default page I list in the
web.xml file. For instance, if I navigate to www.hotel.us ... and the
default page is index.html ... the URL window will actually show that I've
been sent to www.hotel.us/index.html. I would prefer that it simply show
www.hotel.us and figure out which page to display behind the scenes.
Does anyone know how to configure that?
Thanks.

Note that this will cause your app to be deployed under context path
"/hotel" on the default host, in addition to being deployed as the root
webapp of the virtual host. That's probably not what you want -- the
solution is to make the appBase of this host be someplace else. Note that
you can use an absolute pathname for either appBase or docBase.

Jacob,
Cool thanks! I just had to play with those settings but in principal
you're right on the money!
Here's what finally worked:
<Host name="www.hotel.us" appbase="webapps/hotel" debug="10">
<Context path="" docBase="" debug="10" />
</Host>
Cheers!

Hello neal,
Your appBase attribute on the <Host ...> element plus your docBase on
your <Context ...> element implies that you have the following
directory structure:
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/hotel/hotel
Note that the docBase for a particular webapp looks for the named
directory inside the appBase. Since your appBase is webapps/hotel,
there should be another "hotel" directory inside the appBase where
your context exists. I'm assuming what you have set up is actually
this:
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/hotel
and you have your webapp inside that first "hotel" directory. That
won't work. Put your webapp inside another hotel directory inside the
first "hotel" directory and your example should work. Or, it might
work if you use a docBase of "". I'm not positive about that, though,
so you'd have to test and see. The first solution should work.

I'd try putting the appBase (not appbase !!!) for your virtual host
somewhere *other* than the "webapps" subdirectory -- that is just going to
cause confusion for the default host.
Second, the docBase directory for a <Context> is resolved relative to the
directory of the parent appBase, so you'd end up looking for this webapp
in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/hotel/hotel.
