Re: Virtual Hosts, SSL, Tomcat

[Mark Eggers]

Mark,

Thanks for the weekend reply.

Too bad SNI in Java 7 is only client side for the time being.

So it looks like:

1. Wildcard certs and restrict server architecture
2. Apache mod_ssl SNI / mod_jk and restrict clients (may not be possible)
3. Traditional one cert per IP-based virtual host on Apache HTTPD and chew up 
IP address space.

. . . . just my two cents.

That is the way I would recommend right now.

Correct. There is no code in the APR/native connector to handle this. It
should be possible to implement but it isn't there yet.

Only on the client side, not the server side so this is not an option.

See the following Wiki entry for setting up virtual hosts. While it's geared 
towards a development environment, if you add the hosts to DNS it should work 
find in a production environment.

Yes. You don't need Apache httpd in front of Tomcat, and you don't
even need to run on separate ports if you use named virtual servers.

RE: Virtual hosts on tomcat > 5.5.15

[Matthias Pueski]

Thank you both very much!

I did the following:

1.) Removed the context element from the server.xml
2.) added META-INF/context.xml to the web application and removed the
docBase attribute
3.) Removed the logger element
4.) moved the Web Application to a folder named ROOT, directly under the
appBase

Now everything works fine.

There is no  element allowed in 5.5.

As Pid noted, an empty docBase is illegal.  Also, you should not be placing 
 elements in server.xml.  If you want to define the default webapp for 
a , name the .war file or directory ROOT (case sensitive), located 
immediately under the  appBase directory.  The  element belongs 
in the webapp's META-INF/context.xml file, or in

The fact that anything "worked" under 5.5.15 is purely accidental, since your 
config is seriously broken.  It appears to have been copied verbatim from a 
much older version of Tomcat (or perhaps derived from the tons of 
misinformation about Tomcat out on the Internet), which is always bad practice.

Hi everybody,

currently I am running a few virtual domains on a root server with
tomcat 5.5.15 installed. So far everything works fine.

Now I just wanted to upgrade to the latest 5.5.x series in fact migrate

For example a virtual host on tomcat 5.5.15 has been configured as
follows:









That'll cause you some problems.
Do you have a META-INF/context.xml defined in your web app?

Have a read of the docs about how to properly define a Context and give 
us a shout if you can't fix it.


N.B. You'll probably have to rename the app "ROOT.war" or the exploded 
app dir "ROOT".


 http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html

Works fine without any problems.

If I switch now to Tomcat 5.5.28 the context is beeing deployed and the
JSP pages are accessible, but the whole WEB-INF folder including web.xml
and taglibs cannot be found.

I've noticed this behaviour with all tomcat versions later than 5.5.15.
Does anybody know if some configuration ore something else has changed?

Unfortunately I could not find any changelog or any other information
about this issue.

Does anybody have an idea, what's going wrong?

Any suggestions are really appreciated.

While not "wrong", it is kind of confusing. There's no particular reason

Right, I get it. But, since the manager app is also sitting in Tomcat's
webapps directory, which has auto-deploy turned-on for your localhost
, it will deployed there as well. I'm not sure there's really a
problem with that (it's just another deployment, under a different
), but I just wanted to point out that it /will/ be deployed twice
in your configuration, when you are trying to really have it only deploy
once (for testing).

Yup, and it's as easy as duplicating the manager.xml file into each of
your conf/Catalina/[hostname] directories. You shouldn't have to do
anything else at all (except maybe modify the  to point to
maybe another type of user database.

What problems were you having? Those mentioned in your original post
(like "Document base .../apache-tomcat-6.0.20/./manager does not
exist")? The only reason I can think of to get that odd error would be
to mess with the docBase in the manager.xml file itself.

Otherwise, I'm at a loss. I might suggest wiping your TC install and
starting again, step-by-step. It's possible that you're broken something
else somewhere and we'll have a tough time finding it.

Its being deployed once per host.  I need more than one because the standard
manager install only works for one host.

This is similar to the instructions at
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/manager-howto.html

A default Tomcat installation includes the manager. To add an instance of
the Manager web application Context to a new host install the
manager.xmlcontext configuration file in the
$CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname] folder. Here is an example:




If you have Tomcat configured to support multiple virtual hosts (websites)
you would need to configure a Manager for each.

Sorry this is a miss-communication on my behalf. What I meant was not that
its being deployed twice but that I was sure that tc only reloaded the
context that had been altered.

Will lead to confusion. Your apps will be deployed at least twice, maybe
more. Why don't you use just use the manager webapp from where it gets
installed by default (in CATALINA_HOME/server/webapps/manager)?

Hi All,

Comments below.  The one thing that may be unusual about my server.xml (see

Honestly my first version of the manager.xml was a simple copy out of a host
created with host manager.  I thought this was the easiest way to get a
working config, without being limited to the limitations of host-manager
(Hosts not persisted after restart). It had those attributes so my file
does.

I previously tried with the path before my initial email.  I didn't list all
the steps I had gone through to try to fix it.

I'm trying to deploy 3 managers but I focused on 1,
cashier.westest.example.com

I'm pretty sure its this one because I get the logged messages when I change
the manager.xml Its the only one being reloaded in that instance.  Or am I
wrong with that?

I'm also getting 404 errors when I hit
http://cashier.westest.example.com/manager/html so I know the changes
haven't fixed this one.

Er, no. The name of the file specifies the context path. No "path"
attribute is necessary. In fact, it will likely confuse things.

Wes,
Are you sure you're looking at the right file? How many managers are you
trying to deploy? One for each ? How about starting with just a
single one to get it working. It looks like you may have several of them
configured, and maybe are confusing the warnings with each other.

Re: Virtual Hosts and manager application.

[Jonathan Mast]

You need to specify the "path" attribute in the Context tag.  I would
recommend something other than just "manager" as I've see malicious bots
looking for it.

I would also remove the anitResourceLocking and antiJARLocking attrs, why do
you think you need them?

Re: Virtual Hosts and manager application.

[Jonathan Mast]

Try placing the literal path to the manager in there instead of the
${catalina.home} variable.

Hi,

Ok, this confirms my supposition, thanks.

with Tomcat as is, but would be more properly handled in an OS-related

I fully agree with you; hoping for an answer I set out by knocking on a

No, chrooting really does limit filesystem access to directories
to within a specified directory tree. Whatever you want to access
from a chrooted process must reside within that same chroot restriction.

You might be able to set up chrooting so that Tomcat is able to access
all virtual hosts, and so that each sftp/ssh update account only has
access to the specific virtualhost directory tree, but for this case
the Tomcat chroot point must be a common point above all the virtual
hosts.

So, if you f.ex. have a directory structure
/a/b/tomcat
/a/b/vhost1
/a/b/vhost2
... then, if your Tomcat process is chrooted to /a/b/tomcat, it will
not be able to access any directory which is not below the /a/b/tomcat
directory. This is the whole and sole point of chrooting: the "root"
directory accessible to a process is changed to something else than the
real root directory of the underlying filesystem.

Instead, if you chroot tomcat to /a/b, then it will be able to access
anything wihtin /a/b, including all three abovementioned directories.
Also, when you run a process chrooted, copies of all files needed by
the process must exist within the chrooted environment (f.ex. all JDK
files needed by Tomcat).

Note though, that these (chrooting) questions have little or no relation
with Tomcat as is, but would be more properly handled in an OS-related
forum.

the webapplication web.xml can reference previously defined Resources

Re: Virtual Hosts

[David Fisher]

Hi Charles,


I have multiple domains hosted, and I name each as
Aliases in the Host in server.xml.


If you only have one  element, aliases are unnecessary.  You  
only need  elements when multiple s are configured and  
you want Tomcat to route more than one domain to them.


Exactly. We started with Tomcat 3. We have multiple Hosts - localhost  
with internal webapps for monitoring our main webapps and performing  
internal services. We keep a large cache and have a number of jars in  
shared/lib.


We are currently re-architecting so that we can go to Tomcat 6 where  
the games that we have been playing are out of bounds.


We'll have one stack and control access with a Filter and/or Valve.  
This way we have everything in one webapps and it will be a single  
Context that we can put everything into a war - deploy to the Cloud.


I would hope that configuring such unneeded  elements doesn't  
add processing time doing any comparisons, but I haven't looked at  
the code to verify that.


We can make apache do this work for us in front. I've been lurking on  
this list for some time. In a few weeks we will build our first  
version of this and I am confident that should we encounter trouble I  
can get advice from the good people like you here on the Tomcat users  
list.


Best Regards,
Dave

Re: Virtual Hosts

[David Fisher]

Can anybody offer any guidance or advice on how I can set up some  
virtual

hosts for my application that has multiple skins.

I want to be able to go to http://flavour1 instead of having to  
type in
http://longhostname/service/program.jsp?skins=flavour1, and similar  
for

flavour2, flavour3, etc..

All the documentation seems to point to virtual directories, and  
when I have

tried to use the syntax detailed here
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/virtual-hosting-howto.html
http://gandhim.wordpress.com/2008/01/31/tomcat-55-virtual-directory/
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Servers/Apache/ 
Q_21242062.html


Tomcat tries to open a directory called /service/program.jsp? 
skins=flavour1/


How do I phrase the context syntax correctly?

MTIA

Rob



Write a Servlet Filter that parses HttpServletRequest.getServerName()
and performs the same action that whatever handles the  
"skins=flavour1"

parameter does.

In server.xml set the Engine attribute defaultHost to the single host
that will handle your application.

(This assumes that you know what you're doing re: DNS)


I use this technique and it works in Tomcat 5.5. I have multiple  
domains hosted, and I name each as Aliases in the Host in server.xml.


This works unless the OP also needs to make https connections. In that  
case, all of the virtual hosts will need to be in the same main domain  
and a wildcard certificate will be required.


*.domain.com

vs.

www.domain1.com
www.domain2.com

If you must use https (which I do) and to have multiple domains then I  
have to choose which domain has the correct certificate and the others  
will not match. That wasn't too awful until Firefox 3. It is a pain.


There is no known (at least to me) solution to this except for putting  
Apache in front of Tomcat and handle the certificates and virtual host  
there.


Then use Filter technique to choose the appropriate skin.

I hope my remarks anticipate the next question from the OP, otherwise  
I'm sorry if this a thread "hijack"


Regards,
Dave

If you followed the above -- showing the relevant part of server.xml
would probably be helpful -- and entered a url like

http://flavour1.example.com/

in your browser,

> Tomcat tries to open a directory called /service/program.jsp?skins=flavour1/

erm, well, that sounds highly unlikely.

> How do I phrase the context syntax correctly?

No idea what that means. Each virtual host will have a ROOT context;
what that contains is up to you.

The first thing you need to understand is that there are 2 steps :
1) when the user types "xxx.test.example.com", /his/ DNS resolver needs 
to resolve that to the IP address of your server.  Otherwise, your 
Tomcat will never even receive and see those requests.
2) /then/ you can start thinking about how Tomcat should process the 
requests that it receives.

Really make sure you understand (1) before you start with (2).

Re: virtual hosts

[Yassine]

so you mean in the same machine you will be hosting different domains

test1.example.com
test2.example.com
test3.example.com
...??

and you want to avoid having a conflict when someone is accessing
other domains example test1, test2, ... ?


actually if this is your case there is no problem at all, if you
create a domain for each of your known
domains/subdomain (test1.example.com,tes2.example.com,...) they will
be considered for requests
that targets them
so for example requests for test1.example.com --> proper domain
defined in server.xml and for anything
else undefined "*"
the defaultHost would be handling the requests

Re: virtual hosts

Hi Bart,

I'm not aware of any other way to do it.
I only wanted to know whats wrong with setting that sub domain
(test.example.com) as the default host?
are we missing  some information that needs to be taken care of?

RE: virtual hosts

[Bart Ophelders]

Sorry if I was somewhat unclear.

What I would like to accomplish is the following:

If someone types start.test.example.com it should refer to a certain page.
If someone types hello.test.example.com it should refer to the same page.
I would like the user to be able to type anything before the test.example.com 
and tomcat still accepts it and refers to the correct page 
(.test.example.com)

I know I can define multiple hosts, but it is not possible to know all the 
possibilities.
So I was hoping the '*' wildcard would work (put "*.test.example.com" as host 
name in server.xml), but it doesn't.

Tomcat 6
Java 1.6
CentOS 5.2

Thanks,

-Bart

Not quite like that.



  




Will result in all traffic that arrives at IPs specified in your
Connectors, but that does not conform to another Host/Alias definition
being delivered to the webapps of the defaultHost.

It's not clear what you mean.  URLs normally *start* with a domain,
rather than end with it.

If you mean can I assign "*.domain.com" to a specific webapp, the answer
is yes - by defining the default host for a service.

Perhaps you can elaborate?

P.S. Java version, Tomcast version, OS etc?

It won't support multiple virtual Hosts, but you can set one webapp to
be the default Host - it will then catch all requests that fail to match
another Host.

Check the Engine config element.

Alternatively you may be able to create a wildcard CNAME in dns

I had only configured a default host.

Probably then the only way to do this would put httpd in front of tomcat.

I am making a transition from apache http -> tomcat. DNS is all configured 
correctly etc. example.com and *.example.com point to the same place.

I'm quite certain that tomcat does not support wildcard virtual hosts, I just

Your configuration is invalid, so predictable operation is not possible.  To 
fix the config, you first need to give each  a separate, non-overlapping 
appBase.  Then, deploy your myWebApp as ROOT (not myWebApp) in the 
"otherserver" appBase.  If you then want to access the "otherserver" default 
webapp from localhost, create a  element in 
conf/Catalina/localhost/myWebApp.xml with a docBase attribute whose value is 
the "otherserver"'s [appBase]/ROOT directory (or [appBase]/ROOT.war, if 
appropriate).  Note that this is a separate run-time instance of myWebApp - 
there's no way to avoid that.

The 2.5 servlet spec relaxed the rules on what could be deployed as a
webapp to include a dir with just static files and/or JSPs. To support
this, Tomcat deploys any dir under a host's appBase as a webapp. This was
ported back to 5.5 since it doesn't break the spec and was viewed as useful.

Setting appBase==docBase was invalid and never supported but, as the
side-effect of a bug, actually worked. A number of how-to guides suggested
this config and people started to use it. When the bug was fixed the
invalid configuration stopped working. This fix combined with the
auto-deployment of any dir in an appBase created all sorts of weirdness.

Hope this explains some of the background.

This is going to be long... so bear with me.



My want was to name the context xmls something other than "ROOT". 

In a previous setup I had with TC5.5.16, my contexts were actually in the
server.xml document - which we all know is really a bad thing. I had other
webapps running on the same host so when accessing them will be with a root
domain and then subapps which are explicitly named in the url. We did not
want to use "ROOT" as there are several hosts and "ROOT" gets confusing.

Keep in mind all .war files extract their own directories in each instance
(thus directories being explicit).

Example 3 virtual hosts:
domain1
domain2
domain3

All needing to be separate due to SSL issues, thus had IP structure defined
in Apache (yet another story - will stick to TC configurations)

1-had to move extracted war directories OUT of webapps
2-ROOT context in /tomcat_home/conf/Catalina/domain1 directory (using that

I did try it by naming the context file, but then had to explicitly call up
my site in the browser as such: http://domain1.com/domain1 and that is
undesirable.

One thing that I thought of is to perform a "redirect" from an index.jsp
file, but then that starts to get a bit confusing and once again
undesirable.

Why does my original configuration not work anymore? I will keep Mark's
recommended configuration but would like to know they "why" behind the

No - completely wrong. In short (just doing one host) you want something

Context file location (for ROOT webapp):

Thanks Mark, could my context.xml also just live in my WAR/META-INF  
file?


So let me get this right,  the location of "appBase" is purely for  
where WARs are uploaded. Never should "document roots" live under it?


So if I upload a war to "appBase" Tomcat then unpacks it to the  
"context" "docbase"?

Re: Virtual Hosts: path="/" without using ROOT folder?

[AH NF]

Here is what I have setup going off the examples, but it is not  
working like a I would like


a) a Host definition in my server.xml which has appBase="tomcatHome/ 
myAppBase"


b) a WAR file named ROOT.war. Inside there is a context.xml located in  
META-INF
 I am not sure what to put in for the path and/or docBase  
attributes. I would prefer not to have to defined the context in  
Catalina//ROOT.xml, i would like the context.xml to go along  
inside the WAR


c) I upload the root.war file to my Host above via the Manager app  
(which I also have configured for the host)


d) Tomcat accepts the war and puts it in the appBase above.

e) Tomcat extracts the WAR file but I get a directory structure as  
follows

tomcatHome/myAppBase/ROOT/ROOT/

The app also never starts. Basically I just want to have one virtual  
host per-war that I need to deploy to it. I don't want to have to  
defined the context on the server and would like to have it defined in  
META-INF. Each WAR is a one-to-one with a virtual host and when  
deployed via manager, or ant, I want it to respond to the http:// 
/  as the default / context for that tomcat host.


thanks for the assistance.

NOTE: .war files are still inside the webapps directory and had to be moved
out manually to follow Mark's recommended configuration or static resources
are not loaded.

Rinse & repeat for other domains

This is now working on my server. Although not exactly what I wanted... 
1-had to move extracted war directories OUT of webapps
2-ROOT context in /tomcat_home/conf/Catalina/domain1 directory (using that
"ROOT" name)


I did try it by naming the context file, but then had to explicitly call up
my site in the browser as such: http://domain1.com/domain1 and that is
undesirable.

One thing that I thought of is to perform a "redirect" from an index.jsp
file, but then that starts to get a bit confusing and once again
undesirable.

Why does my original configuration not work anymore? I will keep Mark's
recommended configuration but would like to know they "why" behind the
"how". Helps me understand when launching other sites on this server (there
will be another 4 virtual hosts, each serving up 3 or 4 webapps).


Hope this helps you some ahnf (op) and Jeff... I know this thread helped me.


Now, I go fight with the mod_jk

No - completely wrong. In short (just doing one host) you want something
like:

/tomcat_home/conf/server.xml

   
   

Context file location (for ROOT webapp):
/tomcat_home/conf/Catalina/mydomain1.net/ROOT.xml

On a related note, is it possible to access these virtual hosts through 
connecters (mod_jk/Apache)?  I don't really know anything about the 
content of AJP connections -- do they pass the virtual host name to 
allow Tomcat to direct the requests to the right host or do all the 
requests go to the defaultHost?

Certainly, fewer memory and CPU resources are required to run a single
JVM with virtual hosting.

> Management-wise?

That depends on how to see management. I tend to see lots of options as
attractive for management. When using a single JVM, you only have one
option: stick both apps into the same Tomcat instance on the same
machine. If you have them separate, you have options like deploying them
on physically different machines, using different JVM versions, using
different JDBC driver versions, etc.

On the other hand, multiple Tomcat instances usually complicates the
"real world" because everyone expects that HTTP runs over port 80 and
HTTPS runs over port 443. If you want to run more than one Tomcat
instance and maintain that illusion, you need to run another service
(such as Apache httpd or some other web server / load balancer / etc.)
that can make decisions about which instance should be targeted.

I am personally very comfortable with this setup, but some
administrators tend to think that fewer components is universally
superior from a management standpoint. It certainly is less to think
about if you just have a single Tomcat instance. The only question is
whether or not you think the additional work is "hard" or not. I see it
as a relatively simple matter, but then again I don't manage hundreds of
servers.

Just my two cents,

Is there another way to hide http:///path to the outside

It's not by any means identical, but the Tomcat documentation for the
concept is here:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/virtual-hosting-howto.html

You need to read the security section of the servlet spec.  You can
control access via URL pattern matching pretty much any way you want.

Why not read the actual Tomcat doc first?  Besides the link Mark T
provided, here's the general one for Tomcat-specific configuration:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/index.html

If you do go searching the internet, make sure you only look at
information for the 5.5 level.

>unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
>   xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">

Is this the only ?  Is this the defaultHost for the ?  If
it's not the only one, make sure the appBase directory does not overlap
with other 's appBase settings.  If it is the only  you'll
have, you don't need to change what comes with Tomcat.

>directory="logs"  prefix="micker.dk\_log." suffix=".txt"

 elements are not supported in 5.5.

>

 elements should not be placed in server.xml; the preferred
location is in the webapp's META-INF/context.xml file.  Regardless, as
Mark T pointed out, the docBase is invalid.

You could always try the Tomcat documentation:

> where have I screwed up?

You set appBase == docBase

I'll look into adding some more explict instructions to the HOW-TO.

Using the above doc, the ROOT webapp should be deployed as a war at
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/stimpy/ROOT.war
or as an exploded dir at
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/stimpy/ROOT

Other webapps would be deployed as:
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/stimpy/foo.war
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/stimpy/bar.war
etc

Ok, that makes sense.  I got the feeling after a while that I was trying
to be too strict about that idea and it's nice to have somebody else
mention that.

Good idea.  I have no good reason for leaving it there other than the
fact that it was there previously.

I was able to get this to work as well.  For some reason, when I
manually created the conf/Catalina/[host] directory and placed the
manager.xml file in there before I restarted tomcat, I was getting odd
problems in not being able to deploy my app.  When I placed the
manager.xml file in there after I had the app up and running, I had no
problems with the manager app conflicting with my other app.

Thanks again for everybody's help on this -- I feel like I've finally
made progress on this issue and have a better understanding for how
things work.

I think you may have misconstrued something in the docs.  There's
nothing wrong with modifying server.xml; for example, production
environments must change it and web.xml to remove development-oriented
attributes.  Certainly you should not place  elements in
server.xml, since that requires a Tomcat restart to modify webapp
attributes.

I would remove the  entry for localhost, since, as someone else
pointed out, its appBase points to a parent directory of the other
s, and this is at best bad practice and confusing, even if not
necessarily causing errors.

>   * Being able to include the manager app for each host that I define.

I don't have a problem doing this.  All I did was place a copy of
manager.xml is each conf/Catalina/[host] directory, and all apps deploy
properly under each of their hosts.  Did you change something in
manager.xml?

That's incorrect for all recent versions of Tomcat.  You must not use a
path attribute unless the  element is in server.xml, which is
strongly discouraged.  For the default app, place the  element
with an appropriate docBase in a file named ROOT.xml inside each
conf/Catalina/[host] directory.

RE: Virtual Hosts [mostly solved]

[Mark Eggers]

You may find that the default host loads all of the
web applications.

In order to solve this, make sure that each of the
contexts are not some subdirectory of another context.






You can use an absolute path to place this structure
outside of your Tomcat installation.  For large
structures I think this is nice, because then you can
upgrade Tomcat without disturbing your applications. 
Cutover would involve installing a parallel Tomcat,
modifying server.xml. shutting down the old version,
and starting up the new version.  If the new version
failed, recovery is just shutting down the new version
and starting up the old version.

If you want a one-stop place for all of your web
applications, please ignore this comment.

For a root context, I usually set up an
application.xml file in conf/Catalina// with
the appropriate path="" in the Context element, or a
context.xml file in the web application's META-INF
directory with the same context information.

Once you separate each of the virtual hosts so that
subdirectories don't overlap, I think you will find
that multiple manager applications work.  The manager
application will then be specific to the virtual host,
and you'll have to access that manager application by
going to the specific virtual host (ie,
http://:8080/manager/html)

RE: Virtual Hosts [mostly solved]

[Gormley, Josh]

With the help of several people on this list, I've been able to get my
server configured [mostly] the way I wanted it configured.  Here's my
solution, hopefully it will be helpful to others

Goals:
  * One instance of Tomcat running behind Apache
  * Multiple VirtualHosts, each pointing to its own Tomcat webapp
  * The ability to hot-deploy an app without affecting the other apps
  * Minimal or no modifications required to server.xml for additional
hosts
  * A solution that is maintainable and is not a hack

Solution:
  * Apache with mod_jk
  * Each domain has a .conf file at /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhosts
* The conf file routes .do and .jsp files to tomcat using mod_jk
JkMount /*.do router
JkMount /*.jsp router
* The VirtualHost declaration has the DocumentRoot set to the path
  of the webapp
  * Tomcat's server.xml file has a host declaration for each webapp 
and a declaration for localhost (though that is not necessary)




  * Deploy a war file named ROOT.war to the correct appBase for each
application.  This file must be named ROOT.war
  * GOTCHA: I tried to also include the manager webapp for each of the 
hosts by adding the manager.xml file to 
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/foo.mydomain.com/ as described here
http://webtuitive.com/samples/virtual-hosting-howto.jsp
but by having a context defined in this location, I was not able 
to deploy my applications using Automatic Application Deployment
as defined in the Tomcat docs.  I'm not sure why this doesn't work
but by removing the manager.xml file, I am able to hot-deploy my
apps.

This is working well for me, and that in itself makes me happy.  The 
only things I'd like to improve upon are:
  * Not having to modify server.xml directly.  According to the Tomcat
docs, you shouldn't modify this file.  I'm not sure how to avoid 
this.
  * Being able to include the manager app for each host that I define.
I
was using ant's tomcat tasks to tie into the manager for deploying
my apps, but now I have to scp the war file into the directory.
This isn't the worst thing that could happen, but it seems like 
there is a solution out there for this.

Anyway, thanks to everybody who helped out on this.

Josh Gormley

There is a host-manager webapp which comes with Tomcat to allow adding 
vhosts on the fly (I haven't used it, however). You will need user with 
admin role in tomcat-users.xml to access it.

RE: Virtual Hosts

[Gormley, Josh]

Thanks Mikolaj.  I'm going to try out having multiple appBases and
deploy as the ROOT in each.  I haven't tried that yet.  

As a side question, is this possible to do without modifying the
server.xml file every time I want to add a new host?  I've read that
it's bad practice to modify the server.xml file much like it's bad
practice to modify the httpd.conf file in Apache.  In Apache, I have a
vhost directory with .conf files for each host -- is there a similar
method to do this with Tomcat?

Thanks,
JG

I think it is possible to achieve this using various mod_rewrite / 
mod_proxy directives, e.i. 
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypassreverse

On the other hand, it is very easy to add another Host elements to 
Tomcat's server.xml file:

default entry:



another vhosts:





and deploy your apps in ROOT contexts.

How does this config handle cookies? Tomcat sets cookies with path set
