| <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> |
| <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="ren"> |
| <Host name="ren" appBase="webapps/ren"/> |
| <Host name="stimpy" appBase="webapps/stimpy"/> |
| </Engine> |
| </source> |
| <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/webapps/ren |
| mkdir $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/stimpy |
| </source> |
| </section> |
| |
| <section name="Configuring Your Contexts"> |
| <subsection name="Approach #1"> |
| <p> |
| Within your Context, create a <code>META-INF</code> directory and then |
| place your Context definition in it in a file named |
| <code>context.xml</code>. i.e. |
| <code>$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ren/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml</code> |
| This makes deployment easier, particularly if you're distributing a WAR |
| file. |
| </p> |
| </subsection> |
| <subsection name="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="Further Information"> |
| <p> |
| Consult the configuration documentation for other attributes of the |
| <a href="config/context.html">Context</a> element. |
| </p> |
| </subsection> |
