Hello,
I've been trying to figure this issue out for days and I can't seem to make any
headway. To give some background on my environment, I'm running Tomcat -
6.0.16 and Java 1.6.0_03 on XP, and using IIS 6.0 as the web server.
I have multiple hosts defined in the server.xml file in the tomcat conf
directory like this:
<Host name="site1.localhost" appBase="C:/sites/site1"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false" />
<Host name="site2.localhost" appBase="C:/sites/site2"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false" />
<Host name="site3.localhost" appBase="C:/sites/site3"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false" />
<!-default host -->
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
Under the appBase of each of these sites is a ROOT directory, that directory is
the root of the website. i.e. c:/sites/site1/ROOT/index.jsp =
http://site1.localhost/index.jsp (the Tomcat isapi redirector is working
perfectly).
On top of this setup is a Coldfusion 8 install - the coldfusion install was a
war file that was exploded into c:\tomcat\webapps\cfusion - if I create a
simple coldfusion hellworld.cfm file:
<cfset request.greeting = "hello from coldfusion" />
<cfoutput>#request.greeting#</cfoutput>
I'm able to see it rendered properly by going to
http://localhost:8080/cfusion/helloworld.cfm so i know coldfusion is
functioning, and it works within Tomcat.
Which brings me to my issue - I can't figure out how to have coldfusion files
in each of my hosts rendered using that single coldfusion application.
Obviously putting the helloworld.cfm into the site root doesn't work - tomcat
just outputs the XML. How can I use hook those multiple hosts into a single
running application? Can this be done? Do I need to have multiple coldfusion
installs for each site? I have tried looking into the Context, but that seems
to be host-specific, i.e. you can't set context paths for an application
outside of your host. I've also tried looking at the servlet-mappings in the
web.xml, but can't seem to see anything that would help.
Hope this is enough information - I can supply more if necessary.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer
Matt
