virtual hosts
Does Tomcat support wildcard virtual hosts?
I'm looking to do something like this:
<Host name="example.com" appBase="webapps"
<Alias>*.example.com</Alias>
</Host>
This does not work though. Any suggestions?

Alternatively you may be able to create a wildcard CNAME in dns
Hope this helps.

Sorry, my bad.
I had only configured a default host.
Probably then the only way to do this would put httpd in front of tomcat.

Please paste your config because I just tried this and it does not work for me. What tomcat version are you using?

I tried it at my dev machine and added an alias to the host section for
*.domain.tldevery attempt to access a tomcat host on a resolvable address
works.
Hope this helps.

It won't support multiple virtual Hosts, but you can set one webapp to
be the default Host - it will then catch all requests that fail to match
another Host.
Check the Engine config element.

I am making a transition from apache http -> tomcat. DNS is all configured correctly etc. example.com and *.example.com point to the same place.
I'm quite certain that tomcat does not support wildcard virtual hosts, I just wanted to confirm with someone who was positive.
