Hi!
This Post by Robert was helpful I tried it and it works. But i have a few
more Qs.
Q 1. The Documentation mentions that to add contexts to the IIS we need to
add contexts in uriworkermap.properties (a file totaly ignored in Robert's
solution). Any idea whether that needs to be done at all & if so in what
situation?
Q 2. In the <Host> ... </Host> entry of server.xml, we create a Context with
path="xyz" & docBase="webapps/contextname". What should one do if teh
context is to be mapped to a directory outside "c:\jakarta-tomcat\webapps\"
say maybe on "d:\webapps\"
Q3. Are there any benefits to running multiple instances of tomcat for each
virtual host. If yes how does one run multiple instances?
thanks
sachin
