RE: Virtual Hosts on IIS & Tomcat

2001-08-08 Thread Charlie Cox

what I have done is created mulitple virtual hosts on
IIS, set up the uriworkermap.properties to send the
superset of requested url's to tomcat, and then also
set up tomcat with virtual hosts to determine the
context and validity of requests coming through for
each virtual host.

This allows me to have a /servlet directory in each
with the directory being isolated to each context.

of course if your superset of urls overlaps(/examples
for domain1.com handled by tomcat and /examples of
doamin2 handled by iis) then you will have problems

hope this helps
Charlie

There is work going on to fix this in jakarta-tomcat-connectors. One
workaround is to just forward all /servlet/* to tomcat, and configure
virtual host on tomcat.

Of course, the problems are very complex if you want static files served
by IIS, it can't be done without few fixes in mod_jk.

AFAIK you need a single instance of the isapi filter. The filter should
deal with virtual hosts - unfortunately the code is not yet completed. If
you know some C - you're wellcome to contribute :-)

Sorry, I don't use windows. Integrating authentication mechanisms of
server and tomcat is very difficult, planned for a future version of jk.
