This took me a couple days of going through the message archives and lots
of experimentation to figure it out. I hope I can spare you a similar fate :)
As far as I could make out, jboss doesn't support virtual hosts and there
is no way to do this in application.xml. I could be wrong about both, but
could find nothing in the docs or by experimentation to support virtual
hosts in either. However, if you use apache, there is a work
around. Let's say you have a plain context of '/mycontext' that would
normally be accessed as http://localhost:8080/mycontext. You would add the
following inside your apache virtual host:
ProxyRequests on
ProxyPass /mycontext/ http://localhost:8080/mycontext/
ProxyPassReverse /mycontext/ http://localhost:8080/mycontext/
I think you also have to add the following if you want index.jsp or
index.html served correctly from 'mycontext':
ProxyPass /mycontext http://localhost:8080/mycontext
The only difference being the absence of the trailing slash on
'/mycontext'. I haven't finished experimenting with this part yet :)
If you don't use apache then I'm not sure how to do this other than hard
coding the actual path to the tmp ear deployment directory. You would do
this inside of your tomcat virtual host. I.e:
<host name="www.yourhost.it">
<context path="/mycontext"
docBase="/usr/local/jboss/tmp/deploy/Default/mycontext.ear/web1001" />
</host>
I don't know how safe this is, but it looked ugly enough to me that I went
the apache route. Let me know what works for you or if you can improve
upon any of these ideas.
