Dynamically Create Subdomains - Tomcat 7x
Hi,
I need some help, I need to create subdomains dynamically, Is this possible
?
I have a site, www.mymainsite.com
on this main site, I drop the zipcode and city cookie and then I forward it
to front controller, and it's this front controller which will point it to
city subdomain.
Can we create subdomains on the fly in tomcat ?

Thanks Chris,
I have running tomcat with mysite hosted on it.I am trying to extend it and
get some extra mileage from my app.
I think I can go with hostname approach and see how it goes.
I have another query for which I will open another discussion.
Thanks everyone.

I agree with Chris Derham: if you have DNS set up to send *.mysite.com
to your service, then all of those requests will go to your Tomcat
server; it's up to you to decide what to do at that point.
You *could* add an <Alias> (programmatically) for every single prefix
you might think of to auto-generate, OR you could just use the default
host for everything and then detect the hostname the user is using in
order to customize some part of your application.
I wouldn't bother trying to modify the configuration of the running
Tomcat... instead, I'd just use the hostname to decide what to do once
inside the application.

Re: Dynamically Create Subdomains - Tomcat 7x
Posted by Kiran Badi <ki...@poonam.org>.
Let me try again Chris, I have this site www.mysite.com ready with some x
amount of features in it
Now I need to customize this site based on regions,states, and cities.I
will most likely go with cities.
So I need my main site to redirect to city1.mysite.com .... etc based on
cookie value which I create on mysite.com(This is landing page)
what i need is similar to as what www.blogger.com or craiglist does.Ex
http://www.quikr.com/all-cities,https://geo.craigslist.org/iso/us
when we add a blog, it creates user.blogger.com and for another user, it
creates user1.blogger.com
I am looking something similar ?
Can this be done with just tomcat or I need to front end tomcat with apache
?
Is it required to spend extra money on DNS or creating different
folder/subdirectory for each region ?
I have a single war file, and I intent to do this isolation service
layer/DB layer.
Does this make sense ?
I know its high level generic ask,but I really need some direction. Maybe I
am again vague,but I hope examples will give some direction as what I am
looking for.

so if you map *.mysite.com DNS name to a single server, it can do all of that.
You are asking a very generic high level question, without providing
details of what you have tried, and what isn't working. Hence you
really need to open up more and explain. Can a single site handle all
of these "features" or do you need isolation between them? Is this a
"how can I setup DNS?" or a "how can I setup websesrvers against host
names?" kind of question. It really is worded very openly so people
will be hard pushed to help

Kiran,
Can you try to re-phrase your question in terms which people without a crystal ball would
understand ?
