apache + tomcat with 2 domains but same session?
Hi,
I want to setup my apache to have 2 domains, say aaa.abc.com and
bbb.abc.com.
Both of this domain goes to the same application context, say /myapp
So when i access both
http://aaa.abc.com/myapp/index.jsp
http://bbb.abc.com/myapp/index.jsp
will give me the exact same content, no problem.
My question is how do i persist the session while i switch between
aaa.abc.com and bbb.abc.com?
For example i have a shopping basket storing with 2 products and i want to
access the basket in both aaa.abc.com and bbb.abc.com
Btw, i am using apache2.0.52 + tomcat5.0.28
any comments will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Simon

Hi,
It's great for you that you have a solution, but it's not compatible with the
Servlet Spec and therefore can't be integrated into Tomcat. It's not a Tomcat
bug, but rather your requirements that are in conflict with the Spec.

Re: apache + tomcat with 2 domains but same session?
Posted by Simon Lau <si...@tradeeasy.com>.
Just want you guys to know that I have found a solution for my problem.
I have to change the source code in tomcat to get this to work.
Here is what I've done:
In source org.apache.coyote.tomcat5.CoyoteRequest line 2313 (btw, I am using
tomcat5.0.28 source) I added
cookie.setDomain(".abc.com"); // beware of the leading dot
compile the source and replace the new catalina.jar into my tomcat
server/lib directory.
I am now able to switch between both
http://aaa.abc.com/myapp/index.jsp
http://bbb.abc.com/myapp/index.jsp
and the session persists !!!
I wonder why the web.xml file in conf/ didn't provide such an option for us
to set more cookie options.
As for now, I can only set session-timeout in web.xml.
I suggest adding like cookie-domain
<session-config>
<session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
<cookie-domain>.abc.com</cookie-domain>
</session-config>
I know resin have such an option, see here
http://browserinsight2.lunaimaging.com:8090/ref/app-config.xtp#session-config
I am posting this to both user list and developer list, I hope someone in
the tomcat project will read it and implement this in the future.
Thanks everyone that have helped me though, means a lot.

[I have a major sinus cold - so I might not be writing clearly ...]
I don't think URL rewriting from apache mod_rewrite will solve your problem.
Tomcat maintains state with the session via a session cookie. The cookie is
fixed to the currnet domain name (not configurable) and the cookie is fixed
to the current webapp path(also not configurable).
But the session cookie is the key to picking up the session. Since you are
working in a differnet domain - the session cookie is not sent by the client.
But for clients that do not allow cookies, you can use url rewriting via the
servlet API. (See HttpResponse.encodeUrl()). This method detects whether the
client has sent the request and maintained state via a session cookie and if
a cookie was not used, the url is rewritten and encoded with a path variable
called jsessionid. (eg: foo.jsp;jsessionid=ABDDAAN9900)
To get a session from aaa.com to work in bbb.com - you need to have a page on
aaa.com link to bbb.com with the URL containing the jessessionid path parameter.

Re: apache + tomcat with 2 domains but same session?
Posted by Simon Lau <si...@tradeeasy.com>.
Tim, thanks for your help. but...
I have been following your suggestion and use mod_rewrite to rewrite
bbb.abc.com to aaa.abc.com.
Here is 3 scenarios:
1)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^bbb\.(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.+) http://aaa.%1$1
Client access http://bbb.abc.com/myapp/index.jsp
Client brower address bar display http://aaa.abc.com/myapp/index.jsp (but i
want http://bbb.abc.com/myapp/index.jsp instead)
Session persist, no problem
2)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^bbb\.(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.+) http://aaa.%1$1 [PT]
Client access http://bbb.abc.com/myapp/index.jsp
Client brower address bar display http://bbb.abc.com/myapp/index.jsp
Client brower display "400 Bad Request error"
mod_rewrite.log get "forcing 'http://aaa.abc.com/myapp/index.jsp' to get
passed through to next API URI-to-filename handler
3)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^bbb\.(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.+) http://aaa.%1$1 [P]
Client access http://bbb.abc.com/myapp/index.jsp
Client brower address bar display http://bbb.abc.com/myapp/index.jsp
Client brower display "Forbidden, You don't have permission to access
/myapp/index.jsp"
mod_rewrite.log get "forcing proxy-throughput with
http://aaa.abc.com/myapp/index.jsp"
so all of these cases didn't give me the result i wanted.
the result i wanted is:
-Client access http://bbb.abc.com/myapp/index.jsp
-Client brower address bar display http://bbb.abc.com/myapp/index.jsp
-Session persist with http://aaa.abc.com/myapp/index.jsp
Am i on the right track? or am i doing it totally wrong? or is there way to
get around this?
please help. thanks again.
Simon

You can get away with this by using URL rewriting. When you are using
aaa.abc.com and wish to redirect or link to bbb.abc.com - you would need to
rewrite the URL to include the jsessionid path parameter. But you *cannot* do
this via response.encodeURL(..) since that method will detect your URL is in
another webapp. So you will need to write your own implementation of
encodeURL to achieve this.

Take a look at http://support.softartisans.com/kbview.aspx?ID=666
[first link that i found on google about using cookies on diff subdomains]
Basically you save a cookie unique for each user that with domain ".abc.com"
Retrieve session vars [the basket in your case] from database via the value of this cookie.
I guess there is a way to automatically save the session into database with tomcat,
but I don't know anything about this, and retrieve it from two subdomains.
If there is the second solution, I'm interested in more details.

Subject: apache + tomcat with 2 domains but same session?
Hi,
I want to setup my apache to have 2 domains, say aaa.abc.com and
bbb.abc.com.
Both of this domain goes to the same application context, say /myapp
So when i access both
http://aaa.abc.com/myapp/index.jsp
http://bbb.abc.com/myapp/index.jsp
will give me the exact same content, no problem.
My question is how do i persist the session while i switch between
aaa.abc.com and bbb.abc.com?
For example i have a shopping basket storing with 2 products and i want to
access the basket in both aaa.abc.com and bbb.abc.com
Btw, i am using apache2.0.52 + tomcat5.0.28
any comments will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Simon
