Multiple .war files in single tomcat instance

[Praveen <ga...@yahoo.com>]

Hi - Iam trying to deploy multiple .war files on a
single tomcat instance, but was wondering if theres a
way in tomcat, to use the domain name and pick up the
corresponding war file. 
For eg: I have two war files sample1.war and
sample2.war deployed on a single tomcat instance, and
lets say I have DNS entries sample1.com and
sample2.com to point to this particular instance of
the tomcat server, now when I hit sample1.com, how can
I configure tomcat to pick sample1.war and similarly
for sample2.

Right now in order to hit sample1.war, I type in my
URL "localhost:8080/sample1".

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Thanks,
Praveen

I'm sure that would work, but you don't have to install Apache to do 
what Praveen wants to do.

Tomcat provides "Virtal Host" functionality that does exactly what 
Praveen wants to do.

Praveen, I suggest you start by reading the Tomcat documentation 
_for your version of Tomcat_ about Virtual Hosts.  The following link is 
for Tomcat 5.5 - if you're not using Tomcat 5.5, look up the equivalent 
page for your version:

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/host.html

If you have any specific problems after reading that, feel free to post 
them back to the list.

This looks like a case for having an Apache HTTPD server in front of 
tomcat. The mod_rewrite httpd module can do this I expect.
