Multiple paths to one application
Hello,
is here a way to have multiple paths configured for one apps?
Like :
Localhost/path1/servlet1
Localhost/path2/servlet2
Cheers,
Pete

you are right. you still have to include the webapps folder in your
path. therefore it would work this way:
localhost/myapp/path1/servlet1
localhost/myapp/path2/servlet2
i guess you had to replace the root app to have just / as your app
folder... (just as you said)

Yes, I know this reaction but what are you gonna do when you are told
Put user authentication in the DMZ, filter on an XOR basis between ip
address and password?
I did not find any better way. Besides how is it possible to connect to an
port in the intranet which is closed and only open for an fixed ip address?

I hope that this is not really the reason why you want two paths to
the application?
Tomcat has user authentication built in!? Why not use it?! Otherwise,
some smart user is
going to have the idea of connecting directly to your tomcat instance...
If you have 'two' copies of the same web app, you may also end up
with other side-effects, depending on how the thing works....
... Two copies using the same database, when they each believe that
they are the only one connected! :-)

actually the performance is better as you have control over what is being accessed, who is accessing and you dont have to play games with external
http servers such as IIS / Apache

For Tomcat, a realm is a collection of authentication credentials and
the necessary logic to manipulate them - it's not an access control
mechanism. For that, you use path-based <security-constraint>
declarations in your app's web.xml, as defined in section 12 of the
Servlet spec. You don't need multiple realms for controlling access to
different parts of an application.
What are you using httpd for? If it's just for delivering static
content, consider simplifying your life by getting rid of it and using
Tomcat standalone. Performance is pretty much equivalent, these days.

This means when I configure it like this it makes no difference to just
deploying the same application twice with different paths, right?
My problem is that I have parts of my application which are restricted and
I just want to filter the path requests with the httpd server which sits
in front of tomcat so that I don't to configure any additional realms.

Correct.
If you want two names for the same app, you could place an additional
<Context> element in conf/[engine]/[host]/[app2name].xml, with a docBase
attribute pointing to the app to be aliased. This actually gets you two
deployments of the same app, so singletons and static fields won't be
shared across them. That may or may not suffice.

Doesn't this only work if your application replaces the 'ROOT'
application?

Re: Multiple paths to one application

if you map them to one app in your web.xml you can have different paths
link to one app.
like:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>my.Servlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/path1/servlet1</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/path2/servlet2</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
both links would map to MyServlet ie my.Servlet.class
