How to customize the context paths for several web application.

[Guofeng Zhang <gu...@radvision.com>]

Hi,

 

We have four web applications that deployed on Tomcat 6.0 at the same
time. Some special customers want to use special context paths to access
them, so I think the easiest way is to use context.xml to define the
context paths.

 

I do not know how to do it? Can you kindly give me a sample? Thanks

 

As I know, the context.xml is placed in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/context.xml.
This way we can only define one context path.

 

Thanks for your help!

There are five places where a Context may be defined.  You probably
want either '$CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/pathname.xml'
or (within the app. itself) 'META-INF/context.xml'.  In the former
case you would specify the path by the naming of the file; in the
latter, you would code a 'path' attribute in the Context element.
