[Feels like a newbie question, but I don't know the anwser.]
I have a web app (myapp) which has its context.xml in META-INF.
When I run it on a local vanilla Tomcat 6.0.18 (Apache download) with
the standard unzipped
server.xml, only one instance of myapp is started (as observed in
catalina.out).
I have a Tomcat 6.0.18 running on a CentOS 5 Linux on a remote hosting
service.
(Actually running in a Parallels virtual VPS.)
That system has two hosts in the server.xml (set up by the remote
hosting service) as follows:
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
</Host>
<Host appBase="webapps" name="mydomain.com" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true">
<Alias>www.mydomain.com</Alias>
<Alias>123.123.123.123</Alias>
</Host>
Note that they share the appBase.
When I drop myapp.war in webapps, and observe catalina.out, I see that
it is started twice.
I assume that this is the expected behavior?
And so then the question is: In a remote hosting setting like this,
what is the purpose
of the localhost Host: <Host name="localhost" ....> Do I need this
at all?
Maybe it was just cruft left lying around by the person who set things
up?
I certainly want to avoid two copies of myapp running.
Thanks in advance
Ken
