Not Virual Hosts: Re: Can multiple URLs with a single IP address be mapped to discrete Applications in Tomcat 4.0?

[Micael Padraig Og mac Grene]

Hi, Jochen, thanks for the help.  But, I think, unless I misunderstand, 
that virtual hosts are not the solution.  Virtual hosts are defined by the 
Host element in server.xml.  Hosts are parents to one or more web 
applications, each represented by a Context component.  I can see nothing 
in a virual host that allows us to introduce the variable of a URL, e.g. 
www.aa.com versus www.bb.com, incoming to the site.  However, since I am 
the one having the problem, maybe I misunderstand.  Could you expand on how 
you think this solves the problem of mapping, e.g., the url www.aa.com to 
the application webapps/aa and the url www.bb.com to the application 
webapps/bb?  Thanks.

[Jochen Schwoerer]

I think you have to create two virtual hosts (one one www.aa.com and
one for www.bb.com). these are mapped to two different directories eg.
webapps/aa and webapps/bb.
in server.xml it should look like this:

...

i hope thats what you are looking for! if not please explain your
prob. again. maybe i misunderstood it.
