Access application without giving port number and context root
Hi..
I am trying to deploy a web application tomcat 7.0.61 . I have a DNS created and I want access the application without using port number and context root. Please suggest the best approach to achieve this.
I can change the Port in server.xml to default port 80, but I would still need to give the context root, else it would be redirected to tomcat home page. In PRODUCTION, I would have a DNS created to access my application and want to avoid port number and context root, hence want to know the steps and best approach to achieve this. If there are some tutorials/Links, please share the same.
Appreciate you assistance.
Regards,
Amith
Deploying to root context with versioning
Posted by Andrew Hunt <An...@us.dunnhumby.com>.
Hey there,
I'm trying to deploy a war of my application to the root context. I name it ROOT.war and it autodeployed fine. When I try to add versioning like ROOT##1.war and ROOT##2.war, it seems to see the context as ##1 and fail to deploy. For example, I get exceptions saying it couldn't find /WEB-INF/sitemesh.xml. In the webapps folder it was deployed to ROOT##1, so anything referencing ROOT/WEB-INF seems to fail. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Drew

Thank you......
I will try IIS reverse proxy and update the status once I am successful.

Yes, you can use IIS as a reverse proxy. I haven't done it, but looked into this in the past and found a few solutions. You can google "IIS Reverse Proxy". Some things to consider with a reverse proxy:
1. Your application cannot be sending back links with the hostname/port in it.
2. If your application does HTTP redirects, then you need to setup the reverse proxy to re-write those (not an issue, but something you need to configure).

Thanks. Ngnix is not an approved software in my company. Hence trying to see if there is a work around. Can IIS be used as a reverse proxy? I see IIS as an approved one.

If you want to have multiple applications running on the same tomcat but each has a URL that hides this you need to use a reverse proxy server.
End User ----> Reverse Proxy (NGINX for example ) -------------------------------------> App 1
http://foo.bar/ -------------------------------------> http://app.server:7832/foo
http://baz/bar/ -------------------------------------> http://app.server:7832/bar
This is more complicated to setup but has the benefit of being able to move the tomcat instance around (a different port or server, for example) without the End User needed to change the URL they use.
If you don't want to run and manage a new process there are some java based reverse proxies that I think you could run on the Tomcat server itself: http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/ServletProxy. You won't be able to hide the port with these however.

You don't have to worry about either of these issues if your application uses the servlet API correctly and Tomcat has been configured with the RemoteIPValve, which understands reverse proxies.
