Mapping multiple hosts to single Host
I've read many posts about virtual hosts and Tomcat with and without
mod_jk/mod_webapp, but haven't found a real answer to my question. We want to
map multiple hosts to a single <Host> config in server.xml. I thought the
defaultHost setting would do this, but it doesn't work. If I have DNS entries
for server1.xyz.com and server2.abc.com that point to the same IP address and
an Apache virtual host and on to mod_webapp, if I don't define and <Host>
settings, Tomcat will serve out any web apps in the webapps directory. The
problem is that I'd like to run the manager app, but that requires
privileged="true" which (as far as I know) must be done in a <Host><Context>
config. Basically we want to map multiple domains to a webapp and based on
the "host" value, send a response out. Kind of along the lines of Apache's
wildcard host syntax.
Hope the post isn't too confusing. Any ideas?

Correct. We're currently using the host settings in server.xml which match
virtual hosts in Apache. I've done some testing with Apache aliases, but the
host passed in is the alias which is not in server.xml - tested using
RequestHeaderExample. What we need to do is to add additional domain mappings
without adding Apache or Tomcat configs. For example if *.xyz.com is being
handled through Apache, how can that be sent to Tomcat via mod_webapp. I've
tested using name based virtual hosting with Apache, but not IP based, without
success. I was hoping that the "defaultHost" setting would send any requests
from hosts not defined in <Host>s to the default, but that doesn't seem to be
the case. Thanks!

Re: Mapping multiple hosts to single Host
Posted by August Detlefsen <au...@yahoo.com>.
In httpd.conf, inside each VirtualHost, you can set the ServerAlias
directive - it will allow the same VirtualHost to recognize multiple
domain names:
NameVirtualHost 12.34.56.78
<VirtualHost 12.34.56.78>
ServerName myCompany.com
ServerAlias myCompany.net myCompany.org myOtherCompany.com
#deploy webapps for this site
WebAppDeploy ROOT conn /
WebAppDeploy manager conn /manager
</VirtualHost>
This way you can have multiple domains point to the same <Host> in
server.xml. I am not sure if Apache passes the original domain name or
the aliased one to Tomcat though.
Otherwise you will have to create multiple <Host>s in server.xml and
deploy your context in each one. Does anyone know how to configure TC
to recognize the same webapp across all Hosts?
