<section name="Assumptions">
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For the sake of this how-to, assume you have a development host with two
|
||||
host names, <code>ren</code> and <code>stimpy</code>. Let's also assume
|
||||
one instance of Tomcat running, so <code>$CATALINA_HOME</code> refers to
|
||||
wherever it's installed, perhaps <code>/usr/local/tomcat</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Also, this how-to uses Unix-style path separators and commands; if you're
|
||||
on Windows modify accordingly.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
</section>
|
||||
|
||||
<section name="server.xml">
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
At the simplest, edit the <a href="config/engine.html">Engine</a> portion
|
||||
of your <code>server.xml</code> file to look like this:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<source><![CDATA[<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="ren">
|
||||
<Host name="ren" appBase="renapps"/>
|
||||
<Host name="stimpy" appBase="stimpyapps"/>
|
||||
</Engine>]]></source>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Note that the directory structures under the appBase for each host should
|
||||
not overlap each other.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Consult the configuration documentation for other attributes of the
|
||||
<a href="config/engine.html">Engine</a> and <a href="config/host.html">
|
||||
Host</a> elements.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
</section>
|
||||
|
||||
<section name="Webapps Directory">
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Create directories for each of the virtual hosts:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<source>mkdir $CATALINA_HOME/renapps
|
||||
mkdir $CATALINA_HOME/stimpyapps</source>
|
||||
</section>
|
||||
|
||||
<section name="Configuring Your Contexts">
|
||||
<subsection name="General">
|
||||
<p>Contexts are normally located underneath the appBase directory. For
|
||||
example, to deploy the <code>foobar</code> context as a war file in
|
||||
the <code>ren</code> host, use
|
||||
<code>$CATALINA_HOME/renapps/foobar.war</code>. Note that the
|
||||
default or ROOT context for <code>ren</code> would be deployed as
|
||||
<code>$CATALINA_HOME/renapps/ROOT.war</code> (WAR) or
|
||||
<code>$CATALINA_HOME/renapps/ROOT</code> (directory).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>NOTE: The <code>docBase</code> for a context should never be
|
||||
the same as the <code>appBase</code> for a host.</strong>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
</subsection>
|
||||
<subsection name="context.xml - approach #1">
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Within your Context, create a <code>META-INF</code> directory and then
|
||||
place your Context definition in it in a file named
|
||||
<code>context.xml</code>. i.e.
|
||||
<code>$CATALINA_HOME/renapps/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml</code>
|
||||
This makes deployment easier, particularly if you're distributing a WAR
|
||||
file.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
</subsection>
|
||||
<subsection name="context.xml - approach #2">
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Create a structure under <code>$CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina</code>
|
||||
corresponding to your virtual hosts, e.g.:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<source>mkdir $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/ren
|
||||
mkdir $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/stimpy</source>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Note that the ending directory name "Catalina" represents the
|
||||
<code>name</code> attribute of the
|
||||
<a href="config/engine.html">Engine</a> element as shown above.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Now, for your default webapps, add:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<source>$CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/ren/ROOT.xml
|
||||
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/stimpy/ROOT.xml</source>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you want to use the Tomcat manager webapp for each host, you'll also
|
||||
need to add it here:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<source>cd $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina
|
||||
cp localhost/manager.xml ren/
|
||||
cp localhost/manager.xml stimpy/</source>
|
||||
</subsection>
|
||||
<subsection name="Defaults per host">
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
You can override the default values found in <code>conf/context.xml</code>
|
||||
and <code>conf/web.xml</code> by specifying the new values in files
|
||||
named <code>context.xml.default</code> and <code>web.xml.default</code>
|
||||
from the host specific xml directory.</p>
|
||||
<p>Following our previous example, you could use
|
||||
<code>$CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/ren/web.xml.default</code>
|
||||
to customize the defaults for all webapps that are deployed in the virtual
|
||||
host named <code>ren</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
</subsection>
|
||||
<subsection name="Further Information">
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Consult the configuration documentation for other attributes of the
|
||||
<a href="config/context.html">Context</a> element.
