virtual hosts
Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to let tomcat redirect ANY url ending with for example test.example.com to a certain webapp.
Thanks in advance!

Re: virtual hosts
Posted by Yassine <el...@users.sourceforge.net>.
so you mean in the same machine you will be hosting different domains
test1.example.com
test2.example.com
test3.example.com
...??
and you want to avoid having a conflict when someone is accessing
other domains example test1, test2, ... ?
actually if this is your case there is no problem at all, if you
create a domain for each of your known
domains/subdomain (test1.example.com,tes2.example.com,...) they will
be considered for requests
that targets them
so for example requests for test1.example.com --> proper domain
defined in server.xml and for anything
else undefined "*"
the defaultHost would be handling the requests

I 'm trying to set up an OpenID provider for testing purposes.
Since we only have one machine, there are more applications running, and maybe there could be some conflicts. I'm not sure.

Hi Bart,
I'm not aware of any other way to do it.
I only wanted to know whats wrong with setting that sub domain
(test.example.com) as the default host?
are we missing some information that needs to be taken care of?

Not quite like that.
<Engine defaultHost="test.example.com">
<Host name="test.example.com" ... >

Will result in all traffic that arrives at IPs specified in your
Connectors, but that does not conform to another Host/Alias definition
being delivered to the webapps of the defaultHost.

Hi,
i hope i undertstood what you mean if so, look for the loadbalancer
application shipped with tomcat which does something similar.

The first thing you need to understand is that there are 2 steps :
1) when the user types "xxx.test.example.com", /his/ DNS resolver needs
to resolve that to the IP address of your server. Otherwise, your
Tomcat will never even receive and see those requests.
2) /then/ you can start thinking about how Tomcat should process the
requests that it receives.
Really make sure you understand (1) before you start with (2).

Sorry if I was somewhat unclear.
What I would like to accomplish is the following:
If someone types start.test.example.com it should refer to a certain page.
If someone types hello.test.example.com it should refer to the same page.
I would like the user to be able to type anything before the test.example.com and tomcat still accepts it and refers to the correct page (<anything>.test.example.com)
I know I can define multiple hosts, but it is not possible to know all the possibilities.
So I was hoping the '*' wildcard would work (put "*.test.example.com" as host name in server.xml), but it doesn't.
Tomcat 6
Java 1.6
CentOS 5.2
Thanks,
-Bart

It's not clear what you mean. URLs normally *start* with a domain,
rather than end with it.
If you mean can I assign "*.domain.com" to a specific webapp, the answer
is yes - by defining the default host for a service.
Perhaps you can elaborate?
