Re: Virtual Host Context Aliasing
I have been told from a collegue of mine that an alias tag can be used.
I have not tested this though, let me know if this works :)
<Host name="www.mycompany.com" ...>
...
<Alias name="mycompany.com"/>
...
</Host>

I've tested it without any success. Unfortunately.
But exactly that's it what has been said in the tomcat-server-howto.
Is it a bug? It must be....

tomcat 4, I think :)
I have just tested it with version 3.2.2, and that gives the error:
bash# cat tomcat.log | grep Alias
At The element type "Alias" must be terminated by the matching end-tag
"</Alias>".
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The element type "Alias" must be terminated
by the matching end-tag "</Alias>".
At The element type "Alias" must be terminated by the matching end-tag
"</Alias>".
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The element type "Alias" must be terminated
by the matching end-tag "</Alias>".
I have not been able to find any doco related to this though :(
