Virtual host j2ee

Hi,
I have a web dispatcher installed in front of my portal. and in my j2ee engine of my portal, I defined 3 virtual hosts x,y,z with thier entries in DNS.
As I said, I am accessing my portal server through web dispatcher. and I studied the following document to set up my virtual hosts in web dispatcher...
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/fe/cda776f2f64d5287c614b2f715c25f/frameset.htm
but I couldnt find how to find INDEX OF VIRTUAL HOSTS (VHOSTIDX)that i created.
I am talking about j2ee engine and all the documentation available is focussed on abap stack.
could some one please help me in this regard.
Thank you

Hi Benny,
Than you for the reply.. here is the scenario...
when i type
http://adm:50000/ it will take me to index.html
http://anon:5000/ it will take me to anonymous homepage
http://login:50000/ it will take me to ep login page.
as you can see (adm,anon,login are all referring to same IP address, i.e. they are 3 virtual hosts to one host machine), they are behaving as different web servers each of them taking you to a different page.
this works fine..if I access directly.. but with webdispatcher in the middle.. i need to configure something called as VHOSTIDX.. but I cant find it in visual admin of j2ee engine..
YEP, ICF stuff is different... but my problem is with j2ee..
could you please help me in this regard.
Thank you

How to create and access a Virtual Host on the J2EE WAS?

Hello, I have searched through the Forums and help.sap.com and found a lot of information on how to set up a Virtual Host on the J2EE server but am having issues with it working.
The goal is to provide a simple virtual host on the J2EE Portal server to host some static image and HTML files. Previously I had stored these files in the standard publicly accessible SAP J2EE folder location /usr/sap/<SID>/JCxx/j2ee/cluster/serverx/apps/sap.com/com.sap.engine.docs.examples/servlet_jsp/_default/root/. This location is resolved to when using the URL <host>:50000 for example.
The main issue here is that during Portal support pack applications this folder gets wiped out and we have to remember to save off any custom files and folders in this location and replace them.
I would like to create a virtual host to store these static files (i.e., branding-image.jpg, etc...).
I have run through the process of creating the virtual host both using Visual Administrator and <host>:50000/nwa but am not able to get the virtual host name to resolve properly.
The following are the steps that I have taken. Let's assume the standard SAP portal (i.e., xSS, etc...) is running properly on <host>:50000.
1. create virtual host via Visual Administrator/NWA called 'sapwebserver1' by using the Create Host option (takes on the attributes of the 'default' standard virtual host)
2. change the root directory for this virtual server to a custom folder at E:/tmp/mimes (where E:/usr is where the J2EE files are all installed), no start files were set up and nothing else was changed in the new virtual host record, no permissions were changed on the /tmp/mimes folder from whatever the default Windows user permissions are normally set, I am using a local Windows administrator account but I have not seen any reference in the help files or the examples that indicate that any specific permissions updates need to be made on the virtual host root folder
3. restarted the J2EE server as well as the HTTP Provider service
4. before updating the company DNS, I wanted to test this locally on the server and so have updated the server's local HOSTS file with a <host IP address> sapwebserver1 entry
5. from that server I can ping the sapwebserver1 virtual host name and it resolves properly to the machine's physical IP address
According to all of the documentation and examples I have seen I should now be able to (from that server) launch a browser and access the static files in the virtual host by referring to http://sapwebserver1:50000/branding-image.jpg for example. This is not working and the browser just brings up a Cannot display the web page error in IE. By referring to the virtual host name sapwebserver1:50000 it's supposed to hit the J2EE server and based on the host name sapwebserver1 realize that it should resolve to the root directory E:/tmp/mimes. This is not happening. Just as a test I have created a copy of the 'default' virtual host and called it sapwebserver2, updated the local HOSTS file for this entry, and tried to see if that would work like the 'default' host. My expectation was that http://sapwebserver2:50000 would behave the same was as http://<host>:50000 but it too fails to resolve just like the sapwebserver1 virtual host refernce.
Would anyone happen to have any pointers on what to do next? I just want a simple virtual host to be able to serve up some static images and files.
Thanks for any insight or assistance you might be able to provide here.
Graham

This defeats the purpose of trying to centralize SAP-related web resources on the SAP server. Typically IIS/Apache or other non-SAP servers are under the control of IT and not the SAP BASIS group.
We simply would like to have a centralized location to store static web files so that they are not overwritten during Portal support pack applications.

Problem Changing the Root Directory of the Default Virtual Host in J2EE 7.0

Hi,
I'm trying to change the root directory for the default virtual host in J2EE 7.0.
i did the following steps in visual admin: services -> HTTP Provider -> Runtime -> Virtual Hosts -> default:
Root Directory: "D:/usr/sap/<server>/<instance>/j2ee/cluster/server0/apps/sap.com/crm~b2b/servlet_jsp/b2b/root/b2b" (this the correct path to the application)
Start Page:"z_index.jsp"
I restarted HTTP Provider Service and the J2EE.
When I start http://<server>:<port> i get the following error:
The requested resource /z_index.jsp is not available
Details: File [z_index.jsp] not found in application root of alias [/] of J2EE application [sap.com/com.sap.engine.docs.examples].
sap.com/com.sap.engine.docs.examples is the initial default root directory, but i changed it to the correcht path...
Can anybody help me?
Yours
Michael

Which J2EE servers and shared virtual hosting

We currently host our clients websites on an IIS server., using sharded virtual hosting
I am looking to transfer these clients to a new dedicated server option made available by our hosting supplier. I would like to transfer those sites to a J2EE server that would then run on the new dedicated server.
My question is, which server to use? I have most expereince with the Sun App Server 8.1 - would the platform edition suffice for this task? i.e. for hosting multiple domains on a single hardware server?
Is it possible to setup virtual domains for use on the Sun platform edition server? I couldnt find any doc for this kind of thing anywhere.
Ive trawled google and yahoo and cant seem to find the answers I'm loking for.
Many thanks.
C.

Can I ask what kind of applications you're using
Tomcat for? The sites I have are all shopping cart
based, product catalogue etc - nothing too extreme.
If it were you would you just use servlets for the DB
accesses?I also have shopping cart and catalog applications. I'm using Hibernate for my database access. The servlets call into Hibernate to read and write to the DB.
I had read somewhere that using Entity EJBs resulted
in many more DB hits that were really neccessary, so
maybe I should just stick to JSPs and servlets.I feel that EJBs have a place but that for smaller sites it can be a bit of overkill. If you're running an amazon.com and you have a cluster of 20 machines upfront with some mongo database in the back then EJBs would be essential. But if you have an installation like I do with a single server talking to a single database and managed by a single person then I feel that the added complexity is more than it is worth.
For the begginer, J2EE can be a bit of a minefield!Yeah - there is alot to it. And, as we're talking about, the API's are just the first step.

Oracle Portal Virtual Host Enhacement for Multiple Virtual Hosts

I open the TAR Number: 4326752.996
The TAR is related to " REQUEST ASSISTANCE FOR MULTIPLE VIRTUAL HOSTS AND MULTIPLE PAGE GROUPS CONFIG. "
This is the Scenario: We Have Oracle Portal installed in a single Box. yes I know I know... but Not everybody is Yahoo or Google for Clusters and all the good stuff, we just want our website managed by Oracle Portal since all our ERP is running Oracle Database. Anyway. 1 Box running Oracle Portal Infrastructure and MidTier.
It turns out that our previous configuration we have the LAMP Solution with PHP, Apache with Virtual Servers configuration very trivial for a regular web server however we have about 6 Virtual domains.
For example:
www.abc.com
www.def.com
www.ghi.com
www.jkl.com
www.mno.com
www.pqr.com
We also like to post all our Intranet Information in this great Portal:
http://intranet.com
Where intranet.com is the same server but setup in our Internal DNS without be a Real Internet Register Domain.
So bottom line we start doing great with Install our single box install, later [GRRRRRR does not come by default in port 80 GRRRRRR, ok need to move and setup the virtual host to resolve our main External website www.abc.com ]
For starters ok it worked we have our main website running Oracle Portal.
Now is time to go to the step number 2.
Setup another Page Group in Portal to be the Page_Group_INTERNAL.
I figure if Apache can setup Virtual Hosts pointing to Independent parts of the File System without be shared. I was expecting some kind of custom configuration where I can setup httpd.conf to point to some specific PageGroups to make sure
www.abc.com => Page_Group_External
never share information with:
intranet.com => Page_Gorup_Internal
My TAR was very quick closed with the Argument that is not what It supposed to do.
Since a virtual host is a common thing to do on Linux and Apache, I wonder if You guys could list this as one of the default features to have multiple virtual domains assosiated with Page Groups that they never talk or share Resources I think that would be really great.
In the mean time I guess we have no option but to put a password for every internal page or take the risk of share our Information to the Internet. Perhaps designate another box with Oracle Portal but In that case Is not really cost/bennefit to use a killer technology for our external site since we just have no more than 30 pages.
Anyway just figure drop you guys a note any advise will be really appreciated.
Best Regards Dino.

Hi Martin,
1. To change the target URL of KM resources you can to the following:
Access the URL Generation Service Configuration by navigating to:
System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Configuration
Content Management -> Global Services -> URL Generator Service
Change the Host property to "portal.company.com".
2. You change the Port by opening the Visual Administrator and going to : Dispatcher -> Services -> HTTP Provider
Change there the "Ports" entry from (Port:50000,Type:http)to (Port:80,Type:http). Then go on "Save".
3. To remove the "/irj" from the portal URL you can create a index.jsp with the following content, and save it in the J2EE Documentation folder:
<Drive>:\usr\sap\<SAPSID>\JC<J2EE_instance_number>\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\com.sap.engine.docs.examples\servlet_jsp\_default\root
<%
//Send the redirect using server redirection (not client script)
//This will also send the HTTP GET parameters
String queryString = request.getQueryString() ;
if (queryString==null ) {
response.sendRedirect
("irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher.default") ;
} else {//redirect with HTTP GET parameters
response.sendRedirect
("irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher.default?" + queryString) ;
%>
Hope this helps,

Need Help with Virtual Host

a quick Explaination of what I'm trying to do.
We have a DNS name, "our_intranet.com". This DNS points to a load balancer which routes the call to "our_weblogic_server:7015". When a request with this DNS comes in, we really want to go to our_weblogic_server:7015/portal/site/our_intranet. Can this be acheived using a Virtual Host? And if so, could give an example of creating a virtual host?
Thanks,
Tom.

Thank you James for your reply,
I do appreciate you taking a moment to respond and include some suggestions. At this point I feel 90% certain that the answer lies within WebLogic configuration somewhere.
Discoverer is a J2EE application as I understand it and based on that belief it is probably using the standard J2EE servlet API calls such as ServletRequest. getScheme() (the protocol portion of the URL such as http, https, ftp), ServletRequest.getHostname(), and ServletRequest.getPort(). Those API calls return values derived by the server either from the connection itself or from server configuration.
The URL's being returned by the web application are not static either. Although the protocol and the port never change (always http://...:80/) the server hostname does. If I add an entry to my host file for fred.somewhere.com and then hit the server using that server name then the URL's returned by the web application are http://fred.somewhere.com:80/, and if I use barney.somewhere.com I get a similar result. Now, the web application could be reading the "Host" HTTP header out of the request itself to derive that information but why go through all that trouble when the Servlet API gives you a standard way to do it.
For this reason I believe Discoverer (the web app causing our grief) is getting this information from WebLogic even though I cannot verify that with absolute certainty. I wish someone from the Disco area could verify that. I have had a support request open with Oracle for over a week but so far they haven't been able to tell me where they get that information from (which I'm sure is just because I'm not speaking with a developer). I may actually in fact pass on this question to the Discoverer forums you suggested. If someone can at least tell me if Discoverer is getting this information from the application server then I can at least pass that along as confirmation to WebLogic folks.
I have set up an Apache web server as a reverse proxy server for http and https in front of this particular server as an experiment and get similar results with the server name. Whether I hit Apache via http or https I always get back http://servername:80/ from the back-end WLS. The fact is WebLogic isn't even running on port 80 which makes it even more interesting why the URL's we get back should point at 80 instead of the port WLS is listenning on. Since there is no port or protocol information contained within the HTTP request sent by client browsers (only the Host header which just has the hostname) that may have something to do with why the server doesn't know how to provide correct values, but that doesn't explain why it would choose to tell the web application port 80 instead of the port it is actually listening on.
As far as tracking down how to configure this beast it might be complicated by the fact that I don't think this is just WebLogic Server. This is Fusion Middleware. I didn't think that included Apache HTTP Server, but actually I can see there is a directory for Apache on the server identified as ohs (stands for Oracle HTTP Server). Some of the help in Enterprise Manager (or maybe it was in the WebLogic administration web console) actually talks about Oracle HTTP Server which they say is based on Apache HTTP Server and in fact the configuration files are consistent with Apache. That doesn't mean I don't believe WebLogic folks like yourself that say Apache is not a part of WebLogic server (which seems like a pure Java application) but maybe it is a part of Oracle Fusion Middleware. They might just have it there for other stuff working together with WLS (such as Oracle Web Cache) or for load balancing as you mentioned. If it is there then it might either complicate things, or might provide a possible solution. If it really is running there in front of WLS and we can use some Apache configuration values to override URL information that the server passes on to the web applications maybe it could help. I did see some processes running on the same server with a name something like HTTPD.worker. My Apps DBA's (who are also learning as they go with WLS) said they did zero Apache configuration as part of the install however and I know zero about how (or if) Apache is working together with WLS.
I tried going down the path of setting up a custom Network Channel and Virtual Host because a) it seemed like a logical place to look and b) I had seen some references to them on the web but as I tried to step through the configuration I admit I never saw any settings that related to protocol overrides. I have seen host and port overrides somewhere along the way but never a protocol override.
I'm confused that this seems so complicated. I mean, aren't there a lot of people out there running their servers behind a hardware load balancer with SSL termination at the load balancer (it handles the https decryption and then forwards the requests unencrypted to the back-end servers)?
Your link to the "Corecoreserverserverprotocolshttptitle.html" looks like just the right place (almost). If it only had Frontend Port and Frontend Protocol as well as Frontend Host (and instead of Frontend HTTP Port and Frontend HTTPS Port). So frustrating to be so close but miss. I do appreciate the pointer though.
Funny that you should bring up the post on WebLogic Wonders because that is actually the example I tried to follow when I attempted to set up a network channel and virtual host. I aborted before the deploy because the deploy wasn't working quite how I expected and I had little confidence it was going to help me at that point (because I hadn't been presented with any setting that allowed me to override the protocol (http/https) value for a front-end system. I'm still not quite sure how the Network Channel works together with the server/domain/virtual host so perhaps I need to do a little more reading.
If anyone understands exactly what I am trying to achieve though and can give me some direction it would be much appreciated. It seems straight forward to me:
We have an F5 hardware load-balancer that runs here:
https://external-servername:443/....
It uses hardware SSL accelleration to decrypt the incoming request and if it sees /discoverer/ in the URL it then forwards the request unencrypted to a back-end WLS here:
http://internal-servername:8888/...
We would be happy if any connection that server recieved it always overrides the scheme (https instead of http), server (external instead of internal...it actually does this properly already), and port (443 instead of 80). In a perfect world it might behave differently if we connect internally directly to the server (in other words if we don't access it through the load balancer then it provides URL information to continue accessing it directly) but that is just icing on the cake which probably would require virtual host configuration to differentiate the two. We'd be ecstatic if we could simply override those values all the time for the entire server to some constant values that we set.
Thanks,
Eric R.

Virtual host name for Portal (EP6 SP9)

Hi,
I just tried to set virtual host for the portal URL of a EP6 SP9. I set an DNS-Alias portal.company.com for the IP-adress leading to hostname.company.com. So, http://portal.company.com:50000/irj already leads to the portal start page.
I cannot find any differences after setting the virtual host alias 'portal' in the J2EE Administrator. I read the documentation in help.sap.com ... don#t know how to proceed. When looking at the access path in the details menu of a KM file, I still get the hostname.company.com-URL ....
In addition, can I switch the J2EE Engine make listen to port 80 and lead the alias directly to /irj, so that http://portal.company.com directly leads to the portal logon page??
Thanks for any help
Martin

Create Virtual Host

We want to create a virtual host in WAS J2EE 6.40, and we´ve used the
visual administration: Server -> Services -> HTTP Provider
(http://help.sap.com/saphelp_webas630/helpdata/en/0b/fbf5a47928f84e8d0beba8371508e6/content.htm).
Our problem is that it doesn´t work. We think that we have to configure
the Dispatcher -> Services -> HTTP Provider
(http://help.sap.com/saphelp_webas630/helpdata/en/5b/82d3c3ee9691418e6b0281f933a37d/content.htm), but we don´´t know what is exactly.
The DNS also is updated.
Best Regards.

Have you update the windows hosts file ?

Problem with DNS and/or Virtual Host (works from inside, not from outside)

I am running several web sites (as virtual hosts) successfully on one Xserve (192.168.200), which are accessible internally and from the Internet (via forwarding port 80 on our firewall).
Now I am trying to add another web site (newmini.domain.com), which however is running on a Mac mini (also on the same subnet as the Xserve) at 192.168.100. What I did is make an additional entry under the Xserve's DNS for the domain (domain.com) (+ Machine..., pointing to 192.168.0.100). (I also made the necessary changes to the Mac mini's httpd and hosts configuration--no problem there).
Now, here's the strange thing: All computers on the subnet, whose DNS points to the Xserve, can see and browse newmini.domain.com fine. No problem. The computers ask the Xserve for the IP of the host in question, the Xserve says, "192.168.100", the request goes to the Mac mini, and it serves the web site as expected.
But this doesn't happen if the request comes from the Internet. Instead of seeing the Mac mini, the client sees the default web site of the Xserve... So it appears that somewhere, the virtual host part of the HTTP request is lost between our firewall and the Xserve.
Any ideas? Thanks.

It's not going to.
You say you've setup port forwarding on the firewall. Port forwarding only cares about the port number (80). It knows nothing about the nature of the request (e.g. the hostname that the web request is for). Therefore all extenal connections on port 80 get sent to the XServe. The newmini doesn't see the traffic at all.
If you only have a single public IP address you can only forward port 80 traffic to a single machine. Your options are to either use a different port number, or configure the XServe to proxy the connection to the mini (so now the traffic goes router -> XServe -> Mini -> XServe -> router), although that might not do what you want since it still places load and dependencies on the XServe.

Apache virtual host with OSX Server?

I have been running OSX Server for a while now, and just recently I decided to get McMyAdmin for my Minecraft server. The web client for McMyAdmin runs on port 8080, but I wanted it on port 80. I wanted to use it with my domain, so I just created a sub domain and pointed it to my server. The problem is that OSX Server apparently doesn't let me use port 80, even when websites are turned off. I decided to delete Server and just use plain apache. This worked until I realized that my website was only accessible locally. I have all the correct ports forwarded, etc. But I get the error:
Response Error.
Technical description:
502 Bad Gateway - Response Error, a bad response was received from another proxy server or the destination origin server.
when I try to connect from outside my network. This is probably just some simple thing I missed but it would be nice if someone could just point out what I did wrong here. Back to the point, I want to know how to run the proxy to my web client on port 8080 AND ALSO run OSX Server with or without apache virtualhost.
Thanks in advance,
Eamon

Web is stupidly easy - Apache has extensive support for multiple virtual hosts in a single server and will happily support as many domains/hostnames as you can throw at it.
Mail is a little trickier since it needs to hook into some kind of directory server to validate user addresses.
Mac OS X's Open Directory does support this, but it's a little cumbersome (basically every user has to exist in the main Open Directory domain as well as having a secondary email address(es) in the other domain(s).
This can get especially tricky when you have users with the same shortname in different domains - for example if you give [email protected] a secondary email address of [email protected] and you then get a new user [email protected], you can't give the third 'joe' the address 'joe' in Open Directory since that's already taken. This means he'll have to login using different credentials from his email address. Confused yet? You bet.
If you're prepared to eschew Open Directory you can just use Postfix's built-in support for virtual hosting, but it's a little more complex to setup and support and is entirely command-line based (i.e. there's no GUI for setting it up or supporting it).
So, for that reason you might be prepared to setup multiple virtual machines for each domain. It really depends on how much the domains are related (if at all).

Oracle9iAS R2 - Virtual Hosts with Portal and SSO with OIDDAS application

Hi!
I have installed a the machine with name minsk.discover.local. The machine have installed Infrastructure and Portal. The instalation is sucessfull and i work fine. But i have publish Portal to WEB with name intranet.discover.com.br. The Oracle describe:
1 - Create the virtual hosts in SSO and PORTAL - OK
2 - run ptlasst to create SSO Partners Applications - OK
After this steps iwork fine with Portal and SSO, but when i click in portlet to create user to access the application OIDDAS, the Portal redirect to login page of SSO in address mct.com.br, the internal name, when then name not responde in the internet.
I need a help!!!!

I just spoke to the Oracle App server admins, the two servers in question are clustered.
So my question changes slightly to:
What is the best way to install and configure a webgate for clustered Oracle App servers with mulitple virtual hosts, that are residing behind a load balancer (Traffic Manager)?
Thanks,

Use require group in virtual host

Hi,
I have set up several virtual hosts in my middle tier, and configured them as partner applications so that OID/SSO can be used for authentication. It works fine, but the only supported method I can see is 'require valid-user' which allows any user in OID access to all virtual hosts. Does anyone know of a way around this using OID (not mod_auth). We want to allow users within a group access to individual virtual hosts.
Thanks,
Karen

Hi there,
I just wanted to clarify my question, has anyone been able to use group authentication using OID to restrict access to websites hosted using AS10g? My website is just plain html, but maybe someone has done something similar by adding a java wrapper to perform the authentication (that seems like overkill to me but maybe there is a more elegant workaround)?
Thanks,
Karen

HOW TO DEFINE VIRTUAL HOST NAME IN HPIA64 + SAP R/3 ENTERPRISES 4.7

Hi all,
I am trying to install sap r/3 enterprises 4.7 with OS as HP-UX and Database as Oracle in a cluster environment.
In cluster environment sap installation should be done on virtual hostname ( package id ). I'm using the env variable SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<VIRTUAL HOSTNAME>.
My cluster is running and I'm able to ping it from network, but at the time of SAP Installation my sapinst starts with the physical host name not with the virtual host name.
What can be the solution ..?
Thanks,
Chandresh Pranami.

Hi Chandresh,
Try executing sapinst with virtual hostname.
eg. ./sapinst SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<VIRTUAL HOSTNAME>.
This should work.

How can I connect to multiple WLS instances from a single Apache virtual host

Configuration : WebLogic 5.1 SP8 & Apache
I need to be able to have a configuration that looks something like this.
www.company.com/x -> WL cluster01
www.company.com/y -> WL cluster02
In all the examples that I have been able to find they alway defines the the WL
connection for the entire virtual host, but I need to be able to do it on a location
basis is that possible?
Thanks

This should have been connecting to my 7001 instance not the 11001.

What do you mean the wrong port? Post the complete output from
WebLogicBridgeConfig as well as the URL you used.
Also, paste the weblogic relative portions from your httpd.conf
Thanks,

I also used ?__WebLogicBridgeConfig to verify that it did pick up thewrong port.
Here is my build date for mod_wl.so in SP10
Build date/time: Jun 25 2001 15:09:34
Thanks

Make sure you are using the latest plugin. As well, add parameter:
DebugConfigInfo=ON and make a request with a query paramater of
?__WebLogicBridgeConfig and you should then see the build date/time.
We can
then see if you are indeed using the latest plugin.
It is not a possibility to get the source.

And the solution where you put the WebLogic parm under location
the
last
location
over rule the previous.
I have also tried to upgrade my plug-in from SP8 to SP10 but that
didn't
make
any difference either.
Is it possible to get the source code for the plug-in, I'm afraid
that
it
don't
follow put's all it's parm's a the vhost level no matter where in
the
conf
file
they are placed.
HELP

Yu is correct.
Here is another way to do it as well:
MatchExpression /x
WebLogicCluster=server1:port,server2:port|PathTrim=/x
MatchExpression /yWebLogicCluster=server3:port,server4:port|PathTrim=/y
The general syntax for this would be:
MatchExpression exp name=value|name=value
Where exp=Mime type(*.jsp) or exp=/x(path)
The next argument in the list is a pipe(|) delimited list ofname=value
pairs (ie: WebLogicHost, WebLogicPort, WebLogicCluster, PathTrim,
PathPrepend, etc..).
Hope this helps.

Hi Jens,
I think you can proxy by ppath.
<Location /x>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicCluster cluster1
</Location>
<Location /y>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicCluster cluster2
</Location>
thanks

Configuration : WebLogic 5.1 SP8 & Apache
I need to be able to have a configuration that looks something
like
this.
www.company.com/x -> WL cluster01
www.company.com/y -> WL cluster02
In all the examples that I have been able to find they alway
defines
the
the WL
connection for the entire virtual host, but I need to be able
to
do it
on
a location

How to configure multiple virtual hosts for the same context root /

Hi,
I am using Glassfish V1 U1 - b14 on Solaris.
I am trying to configure two applications to be mapped to the / root context, each one in its own virtual host.
Two things I have noticed:
1. I have to manually add virtual-hosts="hostId" in domain.xml/application-ref ... looks like just simply deploying the app does not do that although the application is set as default for its particular virtual host. Is this a bug?
2. Although I have set for each virtual host the default web-app correctly, and they both respond fine, I cannot map both of them to the / context. The second application (chronologically deployed) does not respond when called with the / context ....
Any ideas? Is this a bug again?
Regards,
Rares

Wow, that's a shame. All mighty Application Server and two different apps on two different virtual hosts are considered ambiguous to have the same context root definition.... Fair play to Tomcat and 90% of the rest of servlet containers!
In my case I have the same EAR we are planning to deploy to many (up to 30) virtual hosts. Faking different context roots for each deployment will bring unnecessary overheads...
Should I file a bug or feature request?
Thanks again for your answer, although you're basically saying it is not possible I will wait and look a while for a possible solution before bringing this topic to a conclusion.
