Hi Paul,
I assume you are using a version of Tomcat 3.2.x.
If you are willing to give Tomcat 3.3 a try, Tomcat 3.3b2
has support for virtual host aliases. The syntax is:
server
host name=www.domain.org address=217.158.17.27:80
alias name=domain.org /
alias name=www.domain.org /
alias name=domain.com /
alias name=www.domain.com /
Context path= docBase=/home/user/public_html
debug=0/
/host
/server
You do not need to put this in your server.xml. Put it in a
file whose name begins with apps- and has an .xml extension,
such as apps-vhosts.xml.
Starting with 3.3b2, you must start Tomcat with a jkconf
option to have the auto-generated config files written.
This will initialize Tomcat, write the config files, and
exit. This may be done while Tomcat is already running as
as server. This change deals with the issue of having Tomcat
and Apache as services, and Tomcat rewriting the config file
while Apache tries to read it.
There are numerous other improvements, many of which are
documented in the updated tomcat-ug.html. An on-line
version is at:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.3-doc/tomcat-ug.html
Unfortunately the mod_jk-howto.html has not yet been updated
with information about this feature.
Cheers,
Larry

Subject: mod_jk and URL mapping problem?
Hi,
Greetings all, first post to this list from a Tomcat
newbie(ish). I have
been setting up tomcat, using mod_jk on Linux, on quite a few
machines and
have this problem:
Each virtual host has quite a few different domains in
ServerAliases
e.g.:
VirtualHost 217.158.17.27:80
DocumentRoot /home/user/public_html
ServerName www.domain.org
ServerAlias domain.org eco.domain.org www.domain.com
domain.com
ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
ErrorDocument 403 /403.html
JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
JkMount /servlet/* ajp13
/VirtualHost
And in server.xml I have this entry:
Host name=www.domain.org
Context path= docBase=/home/user/public_html
debug=0/
/Host
Amongst others
My problem is that jsp/servlets is not parsed/accepted for
domains/urls
that are not mentioned in the Host entry. I end up having to
have multiple
entries for each entry in ServerAlias'. So the question is,
am I being
stupid?
The reason this is a bugbear is some jsp sites have loads
of entries in
ServerAlias and keeping track of them is awkward and makes
the config file
rather long!
Thanks, hope to be able to contribute some answers myself soon!
Paul
