Hi all, I have many entries in /etc/hosts file, like this
cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 main.host.com localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
a.b.c.d client1.host.com hostname
a.b.c.d client1.host.com hostname
in webapp directory, webapp folders
client1
client2
my tomcat uses port 80, so by default when I enter any of above hostname on
browser I could see default index page, but my interest is like below
if I enter *http://client1.host.com <http://client1.host.com>* on browser,
then tomcat should forward it to webapp client1
*http://client1.host.com/client1 <http://client1.host.com/client1>*
same way if I enter *http://client2.host.com <http://client2.host.com> *it
should forward to to
*http://client2.host.com/client2 <http://client2.host.com/client2>*
How this can be achieved
*I am not interested to use virtual host in tomcat,
The question here would be : why not ?
Because that is the usual (and most "natural") way of doing the kind of thing
that you want.
Other than virtual hosts, you can do as Chuck suggests, and use a servlet filter in the
ROOT webapp to re-direct, but it is almost guaranteed to give you headaches later on, when
your pages will contain self-referencing URLs and the like.
Or else, it will be very inefficient, because you will have 2 round-trips to the browser
for each access.
