tomcat w/ different connector

[yytan]

hi here;
i am doing a normal (testing) java web app. currently i am running tomcat4.1 on linux. i have change the port from 8080 to 8888 and i am using context path to point to the source (jsp file) directory.

so, the port 8080 will have a context path look like this:


<Context path="/jsp" docBase="/home/swx/jspAdm" debug="0"
reloadable="true" crossContext="true"/>

so the connection url to point to it will be
http:ip:8888/jsp/login.jsp

my question now is, i have put another version (slightly change the content of jsp) in the dir "/home/csb/jspAdm" is it possible if i want to access it like this

http:ip:7777/jsp/login.jsp

how do i conf in my server.xml???

 

[siberian]

Don't you mean the connection url will be

http:ip:8080/jsp/login.jsp?

If so, just change '8080' to '7777'

Now, if you want to have BOTH available to do the same thing just add another connector on the proper port.

I may not be understanding what your overall goal is, this snapshot of intention doesn't tell much.

ok, for short i would like this happen:

http://ip:8888/jsp/login.jsp

it will refer to this folder

/home/swx/jspAdm>

_____________________________________

http://ip:7777/jsp/login.jsp

it will refer to another folder

/home/csb/jspAdm>

may i know how to do that? pls help

There are two ways to do this as far as I know :

1) Install tomcat in two different locations, alter ALL the ports used in server.xml (eg not only the listening http port, but also the internal service port - 8009), and then run the two installs.

2) Use the <Host> section in server.xml to set up multiple virtual hosts. Eg :

        <Host name="[URL unfurl="true"]www.test.com"[/URL] debug="0" appBase="webapps"
         unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
         xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">

...
...
...
          <Context path="" docBase="test" debug="0"
                   reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
...
...
...

        <Host name="[URL unfurl="true"]www.development.com"[/URL] debug="0" appBase="webapps"
         unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
         xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">

...
...
...
          <Context path="" docBase="development" debug="0"
                   reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
...
...
...

The if you put your two webapps in the webapps directory, one under the "test" directory and the other in the "development" directory, you will be able to access each like this :

http://www.test.com:8080/jsp/index.jsp

http://www.development.com:8080/jsp/index.jsp

You will need to also change your host file for your PC so that the two URLs point to your server.

Dear Sedj;

[sedj]

Invalid Page ? Do you mean it throws a 404 error, a 500 error or returns successfully with a page you were not expecting ?

Post your the relevant section of server.xml ...

Hi Sedj;

even i have try to remain the original <Host to "localhost">...

and i tried to append

<Host name="

http://www.development.com"

debug="0" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">

before the <Context path="/swx1"

i tried to access by

http://www.development.com:7777/jsp/jsp_html/index.jsp

it said " The page cannot be displayed"

Dear Sedj / all;

pls help me to verify my server.xml

10s

 

[sedj]

If you had a context named "myWebApp" in TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/myWebApp

which had a file called index.html at :

TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/myWebApp/index.html

and accessed it via this url :

http://www.test.com/index.html

then you web.xml should look like

<Host name="

http://www.test.com"

debug="0" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">

<!-- Logger shared by all Contexts related to this virtual host. By
default (when using FileLogger), log files are created in the "logs"
directory relative to $CATALINA_HOME. If you wish, you can specify
a different directory with the "directory" attribute. Specify either a
relative (to $CATALINA_HOME) or absolute path to the desired
directory.-->
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
directory="logs" prefix="localhost_log." suffix=".txt"
timestamp="true"/>

<Context path="" docBase="myWebApp" debug="0"
reloadable="true" crossContext="true"/>
</Host>

[sedj]

1) Did you create a "index.html" as a test ?
2)I know your doc source is somewhere else, but for now, just follow my suggestion to get this example working - once you know how it works in the simplest form, you can yourself play around with different directory locations - but for now, just create the following :

create directories :

TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/myWebApp
TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/myWebApp/WEB-INF

create an index.html file, just with "Hello" or something simple in it, and place it in : TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/myWebApp

Edit your server.xml file to include :

<Host name="

http://www.test.com"

debug="0" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">

<!-- Logger shared by all Contexts related to this virtual host. By
default (when using FileLogger), log files are created in the "logs"
directory relative to $CATALINA_HOME. If you wish, you can specify
a different directory with the "directory" attribute. Specify either a
relative (to $CATALINA_HOME) or absolute path to the desired
directory.-->
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
directory="logs" prefix="localhost_log." suffix=".txt"
timestamp="true"/>

<Context path="" docBase="myWebApp" debug="0"
reloadable="true" crossContext="true"/>
</Host>

Then access :

http://www.test.com/index.html

I realise this is not how your final setup will be - but please follow these instructions carefully as a test OK !
