Tomcat 7.0.50 - URL Questions
Hi,
After searching online(seeing mixed results), and searching through the Wiki, I was hoping someone can confirm how I can do the following:
I installed my app, and it has a default URL of:
http://something:port/webappname/morestuff.action
I was wondering if it was possible to setup Tomcat so I could browse to here:
http://something
and have it either point at my webapp or redirect to my webapp.
Thanks,
Nam

Yes, check the FAQ :
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/HowTo#How_do_I_make_my_web_application_be_the_Tomcat_default_application.3F
and ask back here if you have any problem with that.

Well, yes. It would be a bit confusing otherwise.

It is an often-used configuration, but not a general practice.
Tomcat is not shy, and does not need to hide behind http. It can be its own front-end
webserver on the WWW.
People who put a httpd in front of it do it for a reason, otherwise it would be a waste of
cpu cycles.
Please forgive me if my assumptions are absurd

You have multiple instances of Tomcat? You never mentioned that
before. So, you will have multiple, virtual-hosted instances of
Tomcat? No problem.

I'm not sure I understand what you are proposing.
I have no concerns about using httpd to proxy to multiple instances of
Tomcat, whether they are configured for multiple virtual hosts or not.
You just need to keep everything straight in your mind when
configuring it all.
httpd VH 1 -> Tomcat VH 1
httpd VH 2 -> Tomcat VH 2
httpd VH 3 -> Tomcat VH 3
The locations of Tomcat VH 1, 2, and 3 are irrelevant: they can be
contained in any of your instances of Tomcat. You just need to make
sure that the connections for VH x are pointing to the correct
host:port that will get you the correct Tomcat VH instance.

I'm just getting confused. You first posted as Nam Pham ("signed" as
"Nam"). Then as J Java. And your StackOverflow question says Shailesh
Vaishampayan. I can't keep up.

But Nam is the original user who posted it . I just replied to it.
My name is Shailesh Vaishampayan, and I use different email just to
keep professional emails seperate from personal emails and I have it
registered as J Java on gmail.
Each virtual host can only have one default (ROOT) web app. Read about
virtual hosting in the Users Guide.
>> Ok. thanks will have a look thanks.
There is no specific reason to front Tomcat with httpd if you only
need one instance of Tomcat. Most people need multiple instances for
various reasons, and since Tomcat doesn't do reverse-proxying,
generally people use httpd or something similar out front.
>> right. but i do have multiple instances. so i guess my decision to use
front server is correct.
>>Please let me know can I do this with Tomcat virtual hosting even if its

I'm just getting confused. You first posted as Nam Pham ("signed" as
"Nam"). Then as J Java. And your StackOverflow question says Shailesh
Vaishampayan. I can't keep up.

Each virtual host can only have one default (ROOT) web app. Read about
virtual hosting in the Users Guide.

There is no specific reason to front Tomcat with httpd if you only
need one instance of Tomcat. Most people need multiple instances for
various reasons, and since Tomcat doesn't do reverse-proxying,
generally people use httpd or something similar out front.

Chris,
Whoever you are
>> I am just a relatively novice Java developer. and certainly not as
famous or an expert like
you.
The correct way of doing things is to make re-name your web
application ROOT and deploy it as such. If you want to get rid of the
port number, you'll have to run Tomcat on port 80 instead of 8080 or
86 or whatever
>> Ok. but what if i have to do this for multiple applications on a single

Thanks,

The correct way of doing things is to make re-name your web
application ROOT and deploy it as such. If you want to get rid of the
port number, you'll have to run Tomcat on port 80 instead of 8080 or
86 or whatever.

Re: Tomcat 7.0.50 - URL Questions
Posted by J Java <jf...@gmail.com>.
After searching online(seeing mixed results), and searching through the
Wiki, I was hoping someone can confirm how I can do the following:
I installed my app, and it has a default URL of:
http://something:port/webappname/morestuff.action
I was wondering if it was possible to setup Tomcat so I could browse to
here:
http://something
and have it either point at my webapp or redirect to my webapp.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22040995/show-home-page-through-tomcat-without-changing-url/22051976#22051976
please let me know if this helps.
Chris,
can you please put some more light on what I have done is correct way of
doing it or not. I did it because i wanted to have landing page of my
website which had dynamic content to be loaded and i didn't want to use
redirection to any other url.
Thanks,
Shailesh.

André has half the solution: making your application to be the
default. There is another piece of the puzzle, which is to eliminate
the port number. Unless the port number is 80 (for HTTP) or 443 (for
HTTPS), then you will require the port number in the URL.
So, the simple answer is that you have to change the port number your
connector is listening to. The longer answer is that sometimes that's
not terribly convenient due to operating system restrictions and other
environmental factors.
If you can't get it working, tell us about your environment, perhaps
we can help.
