Does this work in the Web-Site XML file (see the excerpt from the docs below)? I tried it but I couldn't get a simple index file to load using http://ip:port/~user/ or http://ip:port/~user/index.html. I put the web-app xml file for the user in the user's home directory. Is that where it's supposed to go? On a related note, i'm confused by the relationship between the 'global' site and additional sites. Orion has the ability to run two sites on separate ports under one jvm? What happens if they are set to the same port? Who's html directory or servlet directory is used (assuming they have the same virtual paths)? I'm impressed by the features of Orionserver and the fact that 2 people have coded it but without the documentation, I can't really get it working properly. <user-web-apps max-inactivity-time="123" path="/home/*" /> When enabled user dirs/apps will be supported. Each user has his own private web-application (and connected web-application.xml file). The user apps are reached at /~username/ from the server root. max-inactivity-time - Optional attribute specifying number of minutes of inactivity before a loaded user-web-app can be shut down, if not specified no shutdown will occur. path - A path, including a wildcard to specify the local directory of each user application. The default UNIX mask for instance would be "/home/*". The * is replaced with the username when searching for the apps.
