Re: Apache Tomcat Virtual Host question
Hi, I asked this question yesterday and got no hints from anyone. Since then, I have been able to accomplish what I want using multiple instances of Tomcat. However, I would much rather use one instance and serve requests on different Apache port. Does anyone have ANY comments regarding my issue? Thanks in advance. Aria.

How do I configure Apache and Tomcat so that when Apache receives a request on a specific port, it will pass that along to Tomcat, AND, how do I configure Tomcat so that it servs the correct 'project1' application under the correct document root?

Well, having different presentations by using different port numbers is not a common practice these days, since Apache has Name-based VHosts. Similarely, Tomcat supports Name-based VHosts only (unless I am greatly mistaken). So, it would appear that your solution is the only applicable one. The best choice is, of course, to go for name based VHosts, since it integrates very well and makes your URLs look nice. BTW, 443 is HTTPS port, which is different story. So, save yourself a lot of trouble and go for unified VHosts. One observation, though - with multiple instances of TC you have greater robustness.

Re: Apache Tomcat Virtual Host question
Nikola, Thank you very much for you good comments. I agree that port based servers are not common. The reason we use them is for separating for example internal web sites and external public web sites. Using host name based virtual hosting, you have to give a different host name to each port. For example if you were serving http and https on the same host www.company.com, you now have to use secure.company.com for your port 443 and www.company.com for your port 80. I just wanted to see if there is a way to just use www.company.com and have Tomcat see the port too. Thanks again.
