Virtual host & policy files

1. How to config virtual host in weblogic server?
2. Is Policy files needed for weblogic cluster?

1. Virtual host is a new feature in WLAS6.0. It is not in WLAS451 & 510
          2. Every instance in WLAS cluster needs policy file. However, you can use
          share disk and config a global policy file so that every instance can access
          it. Personally, I prefer every instance accesses its own disk
          Hope it helps.

Server admin overwriting virtual host conf file

For some reason the website crashed this morning. The error log pointed to the virtual_host conf file. It crashes each time the we attempt to create an alias and then save changes.
The only way to fix it is to go back and edit the conf file and then web service starts on its own.
When I look at the file, it says: This file is auto generated by the Server Admin Web backend plugin whenever server settings are saved.
Is there a way to configure this so the file does not change?
Thanks!

The best way to do this is to take the contents of /Library/Collaboration and put it in a location accessible from your newly set up Lion install. In Server.app, enable Wiki, and run:
sudo wikiadmin migrate -r /Path/To/Library/Collaboration
After that, start the wiki and you should be good to go. You should bind your Lion server to the same Directory as the Snow Leopard server, to ensure permissions and users carry across successfully.

Virtual hosts in apache defaults to first host

On my MacMini I have set up apache to use virtual hosts I and use a mounted USB drive to host the sites (in my case /Volumes/Work1/www as root). I have configured 3 sites and switch on the subdomain (in my case and in order in the virtual hosts file: hbc1.helsted.net, consulting.helsted.net, store.helsted.net).
On the MacMini I have inserted the urls in the hosts file to point at localhost for two of the entries and all work beautifully on the MacMini for those two. Anywhere else (and from the MacMini on the one not in the hosts file) the system defaults to the first entry in the virtual hosts config file (as the documentation says it will if the url is not recognized) which is displayed in the browser and which has entries in the log file.
After some time the server occasionally refuses to serve the pages and I get a 403 error (access denied). Again not on the MacMini with the hosts file entries. Looking at the error log from apache in that case it appear that it has got the full url served as it is in the log file.
Restarting the web share removes the 403 error (until next time).
Any hints on how to to resolve my two issues?

Thanks for the reply, my vhosts config file contains the following (note that the viewer in the forum browser removes the initial #es on the comment lines):
# Virtual Hosts
# If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
# Please see the documentation at
# <URL:<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
NameVirtualHost *:80
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.

Mod_rewrite not working for virtual host nor .htaccess

I've been tearing my hair out trying to implement mod_rewrite on my Leopard Server. I have finally been able to get mod_rewrite to log what it does, but that has only shown that it DOES periodically respond to a /server_status request from the server itself, but any request to the virtual host (which is otherwise working) does not result in mod_rewrite being 'triggered.' I've tried all the usual suspects, in just about every permutation and combination:
1) .htaccess in all its guises and Override All;
2) RewriteEngine On;
3) http.conf, the virtual xxxx_80_virtualhostname.com.conf;
4) Options All -Includes -ExecCGI +MultiViews -Indexes +FollowSymlinks;
5) other less credible ideas gleaned from the Apple discussions and the web.
If I had to summarise the effect, it's that
a) mod_rewrite is on (as shown by the regular /server_status entries in the rewrite.log);
b) xxxx_80_virtualhostname.com.conf is read when the virtual host is turned on (because the site is active and can be turned off, at will);
c) any mod_rewrite and Options entries in the vistual host xxxx_80_virtualhostname.com.conf seem to be being studiously ignored, even though the .conf file is being read and used.
This part of http.conf is what seems to turn on the logging:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
     RewriteEngine On
     RewriteLog /private/var/log/apache2/rewrite.log
     RewriteLogLevel 9
</IfModule>
Here's the section of xxxx_80_virtualhostname.com.conf:
<Directory "/Library/WebServer/com.VirtualHostName">
     AllowOverride All
     <IfModule mod_dav.c>
          DAV Off
     </IfModule>
     Options All -Includes -ExecCGI +MultiViews -Indexes +FollowSymlinks
</Directory>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
     RewriteEngine On
     RewriteLog /private/var/log/apache2/rewrite.log
     RewriteLogLevel 9
     RewriteRule ^/Tom.html$ /Mary.html [R]
     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^TRACE
     RewriteRule .* - [F]
</IfModule>
This is a variant of the .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/Tom.html$ /MARY.html [R]
It makes no difference whether the RewriteBase is present in the .htaccess or the xxxx_80_virtualhostname.com.conf, or both.
No amount of pass-though [PT] or redirect [R] has any effect, either.
I do have Lasso 8.5 installed, but the developer says that Lasso should have no effect on the proper functioning of mod_rewrite.
mod_rewrite is working (i.e. it's on, as shown by the /server_status entries in the log and that the log is being updated), but it is also not working (in that no matter what I put into xxxx_80_virtualhostname.com.conf and/or .htaccess, there is no entry in the rewrite.log nor in the system logs).
Hence, I'm stumped. Any suggestions would be very, very welcome.

Never mind. I discovered that Server had created several versions of the virtual host .conf file in the sites folder (I've no idea why, when, or how it would do that). They all had different numbers and so were well hidden within the dozens of other .conf files. Once I a) found the right .conf file for the virtual host, and b) deleted the rest from the sites folder, my mod_rewrite code worked fine.
Hence, if you find that mod_rewrite is working, but not for a particular virtual host, make darn sure that there are no errant .conf files for the domain and, if there are, that you're editing the correct one.

Jk_mod configuration in virtual host

Hi,
I met a strange problem.
Apache has several virtual hosts. Each virtual host has its own configuration file, which is "included" into main httpd.conf .
If I define JkMount directive in virtual host conf file inside <VirtualHost>, it does not work.
If I move it to the httpd.conf at the top level, it works fine.
Could you help me out to launch it on <VirtualHost> level.
Thanks.

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

Working with virtual host & hosts files on a local network

I'm setting up a small local web and production server here in my office running Leopard.
I'm setting up virtual hosts for users on the network to review and comment on websites in development. Ideally they'd access it as:
host1.webserver.local
host2.webserver.local
host3.webserver.local
Problem is, users on the network can see webserver.local just fine, but the subdomains need to be registered with hosts file on each computer.
Is there a way I can manage all computers hosts file easily? I was thinking of an SVN repository, but this still requires going to each computer to update the file.
Any suggestions here would be great.
Thanks
Rich

Hi jscher2000
Thank you for your interest.
I am using "manual prxoy configuration" option in firefox with port 8080. I have tried the option of "Use system proxy settings" but it doesn't help.

Does anyone know how to set policy file, so applet can connect other host?

I have an signed applet, it may connect to other host.
The applet should display a HTML pages, which may contains image tag points to a picture stored anywhere. I use a JTextPane to display this HTML page, but when it is loaded. a error occurs.
java.lang.SecurityException
at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkConnect(Unknown Source)
at sun.awt.image.URLImageSource.checkSecurity(Unknown Source)
at sun.awt.image.ImageRepresentation.imageComplete(Unknown Source)
at sun.awt.image.InputStreamImageSource.errorConsumer(Unknown Source)

at sun.awt.image.InputStreamImageSource.doFetch(Unknown Source)
at sun.awt.image.ImageFetcher.fetchloop(Unknown Source)
at sun.awt.image.ImageFetcher.run(Unknown Source)
I have those kind of error (connection refused) before I signed my applet and write policy file to granr socketpermission to the codebase of my class files. But this error still occurs. I suppose it is because the sun.awt.image.* is Java standard class, so my policy file has no effect on them. But how can I make it works?

you need to install the jre, and place the win32.dll at JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1_06\bin, that properties file place at JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1_06\lib, comm.jar at JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1_06\lib\ext\
and in ur code try to use it to open ur com port
public String test() {
String drivername = "com.sun.comm.Win32Driver";
try
CommDriver driver = (CommDriver) Class.forName(drivername).newInstance(); driver.initialize();
catch (Throwable th)
{* Discard it */}
drivername = "javax.comm.*";
try
CommDriver driver = (CommDriver) Class.forName(drivername).newInstance(); driver.initialize();
catch (Throwable th)
{* Discard it */}
portList = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifiers();
while (portList.hasMoreElements()) {
portId = (CommPortIdentifier) portList.nextElement();
if (portId.getPortType() == CommPortIdentifier.PORT_SERIAL) {
if (portId.getName().equals("COM2")) {
//if (portId.getName().equals("/dev/term/a")) {
try {
serialPort = (SerialPort)
portId.open("SimpleWriteApp", 2000);
} catch (PortInUseException e) {}
try {
outputStream = serialPort.getOutputStream();
} catch (IOException e) {}
try {
serialPort.setSerialPortParams(9600,
SerialPort.DATABITS_8,
SerialPort.STOPBITS_1,
SerialPort.PARITY_NONE);
} catch (UnsupportedCommOperationException e) {}
int i=0;
while(true)
try {
messageString="hi";
System.out.println(i++);
outputStream.write(messageString.getBytes());
} catch (IOException e)
System.out.println(e);
messageString=String.valueOf(e);
return messageString;
and yet u need to signed the applet
1. Compile the applet
2. Create a JAR file
3. Generate Keys
4. Sign the JAR file
5. Export the Public Key Certificate
6. Import the Certificate as a Trusted Certificate
7. Create the policy file
8. Run the applet
Susan
Susan bundles the applet executable in a JAR file, signs the JAR file, and exports the public key certificate.
1. Compile the Applet
In her working directory, Susan uses the javac command to compile the SignedAppletDemo.java class. The output from the javac command is the SignedAppletDemo.class.
javac SignedAppletDemo.java
2. Make a JAR File
Susan then makes the compiled SignedAppletDemo.class file into a JAR file. The -cvf option to the jar command creates a new archive (c), using verbose mode (v), and specifies the archive file name (f). The archive file name is SignedApplet.jar.
jar cvf SignedApplet.jar SignedAppletDemo.class
3. Generate Keys
Susan creates a keystore database named susanstore that has an entry for a newly generated public and private key pair with the public key in a certificate. A JAR file is signed with the private key of the creator of the JAR file and the signature is verified by the recipient of the JAR file with the public key in the pair. The certificate is a statement from the owner of the private key that the public key in the pair has a particular value so the person using the public key can be assured the public key is authentic. Public and private keys must already exist in the keystore database before jarsigner can be used to sign or verify the signature on a JAR file.
In her working directory, Susan creates a keystore database and generates the keys:
keytool -genkey -alias signFiles -keystore susanstore -keypass kpi135 -dname "cn=jones" -storepass ab987c
This keytool -genkey command invocation generates a key pair that is identified by the alias signFiles. Subsequent keytool command invocations use this alias and the key password (-keypass kpi135) to access the private key in the generated pair.
The generated key pair is stored in a keystore database called susanstore (-keystore susanstore) in the current directory, and accessed with the susanstore password (-storepass ab987c).
The -dname "cn=jones" option specifies an X.500 Distinguished Name with a commonName (cn) value. X.500 Distinguished Names identify entities for X.509 certificates.
You can view all keytool options and parameters by typing:
keytool -help
4. Sign the JAR File
JAR Signer is a command line tool for signing and verifying the signature on JAR files. In her working directory, Susan uses jarsigner to make a signed copy of the SignedApplet.jar file.
jarsigner -keystore susanstore -storepass ab987c -keypass kpi135 -signedjar SSignedApplet.jar SignedApplet.jar signFiles
The -storepass ab987c and -keystore susanstore options specify the keystore database and password where the private key for signing the JAR file is stored. The -keypass kpi135 option is the password to the private key, SSignedApplet.jar is the name of the signed JAR file, and signFiles is the alias to the private key. jarsigner extracts the certificate from the keystore whose entry is signFiles and attaches it to the generated signature of the signed JAR file.
5. Export the Public Key Certificate
The public key certificate is sent with the JAR file to the whoever is going to use the applet. That person uses the certificate to authenticate the signature on the JAR file. To send a certificate, you have to first export it.
The -storepass ab987c and -keystore susanstore options specify the keystore database and password where the private key for signing the JAR file is stored. The -keypass kpi135 option is the password to the private key, SSignedApplet.jar is the name of the signed JAR file, and signFiles is the alias to the private key. jarsigner extracts the certificate from the keystore whose entry is signFiles and attaches it to the generated signature of the signed JAR file.
5: Export the Public Key Certificate
The public key certificate is sent with the JAR file to the whoever is going to use the applet. That person uses the certificate to authenticate the signature on the JAR file. To send a certificate, you have to first export it.
In her working directory, Susan uses keytool to copy the certificate from susanstore to a file named SusanJones.cer as follows:
keytool -export -keystore susanstore -storepass ab987c -alias signFiles -file SusanJones.cer
Ray
Ray receives the JAR file from Susan, imports the certificate, creates a policy file granting the applet access, and runs the applet.
6. Import Certificate as a Trusted Certificate
Ray has received SSignedApplet.jar and SusanJones.cer from Susan. He puts them in his home directory. Ray must now create a keystore database (raystore) and import the certificate into it. Ray uses keytool in his home directory /home/ray to import the certificate:
keytool -import -alias susan -file SusanJones.cer -keystore raystore -storepass abcdefgh
7. Create the Policy File
The policy file grants the SSignedApplet.jar file signed by the alias susan permission to create newfile (and no other file) in the user's home directory.
Ray creates the policy file in his home directory using either policytool or an ASCII editor.
keystore "/home/ray/raystore";
// A sample policy file that lets a JavaTM program
// create newfile in user's home directory
// Satya N Dodda
grant SignedBy "susan"
permission java.security.AllPermission;
8. Run the Applet in Applet Viewer
Applet Viewer connects to the HTML documents and resources specified in the call to appletviewer, and displays the applet in its own window. To run the example, Ray copies the signed JAR file and HTML file to /home/aURL/public_html and invokes Applet viewer from his home directory as follows:
Html code :
</body>
</html>
<OBJECT classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
width="600" height="400" align="middle"
codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/jinstall-13-win32.cab#Version=1,3,1,2">
<PARAM NAME="code" VALUE="SignedAppletDemo.class">
<PARAM NAME="archive" VALUE="SSignedApplet.jar">
<PARAM NAME="type" VALUE="application/x-java-applet;version=1.3">
</OBJECT>
</body>
</html>
appletviewer -J-Djava.security.policy=Write.jp
http://aURL.com/SignedApplet.html
Note: Type everything on one line and put a space after Write.jp
The -J-Djava.security.policy=Write.jp option tells Applet Viewer to run the applet referenced in the SignedApplet.html file with the Write.jp policy file.
Note: The Policy file can be stored on a server and specified in the appletviewer invocation as a URL.

Virtual host (vod) map location of files

I have my virtual host working in Adobe Interactive Server 4.0 however:
inside of my virtual host:
myvid1.domain.com
/opt/adobe/fms/conf/_defaultRoot_/myvid1.domain.com/
I have these directories & files
-rw-r----- 1 fms fms 55318 Aug 2 15:12 Application.xml
drwxr-xr-x 2 fms fms 4096 Aug 2 19:17 live
-rw-r----- 1 fms fms 55318 Aug 2 12:49 Org_Application.xml.bak
-rw-r----- 1 fms fms 15811 Aug 2 10:48 Org_Vhost.xml.bak
-rw-r----- 1 fms fms 15960 Aug 2 19:25 Vhost.xml
drwxr-xr-x 3 fms fms 4096 Aug 2 19:16 vod
I have the vod and live directories
however my virtual host is not pulling the data from the (vod directory)
is there another file that needs to be changed to read from this directory?
Any help would be great.
thanks

I was told by one of the Adobe people when we purchased the Interactive Server to copy the 'live' and 'vod' under the virtual host directory.
Thank you for letting me know this is not needed here, I will get rid of them.
The server pulls data from the following:
/opt/adobe/fms/applications
the 'live' and 'vod' directories the data is being pulled from here.
The connection is successful, however I want each 'virtual host' to pull from its own data directory so the user data will be isolated and not viewable.
How can I successfully change the 'vod' and 'live' directory on each virtual host this is my objective.
So then I can change ownership of the 'vod' directory and create a username/password for the site owner to ftp data to the server.
Lastly, is the main.asc (that is where the user name and password goes to prevent anyone from streaming live to the server?
/opt/adobe/fms/applications/livepkgr
[sysadmin@fmsvideo01 livepkgr]# ls -l
total 24
-rwxrwxrwx 1 fms fms 733 Jul 29 09:57 Application.xml
drwxrwxrwx 3 fms fms 4096 Jul 29 09:57 events
-rwxrwxrwx 1 fms fms 3941 Jul 29 09:57 main.asc <- - - - - (is this the security file)???
What I want to do is incorporate this code to prevent unauthorized connections to publish live to the server.

Why are all virtual host files named "0000_" instead of incrementing numbers?

I've created several virtual hosts using Lion Server's Server app. Each .conf file that is created is prefixed with 0000_. On SL Server, each vhost file was incrementally numbered, like 0001_, 0002_, etc.
Is this a bug? Or by design?

That can be caused by a problem with the HTTP response headers.
Did it work before with a Firefox 8 version?
Maybe something similar as this problem with Outlook Web Access:

Struggling with Apache Virtual Hosts

Hi Folks,
I'm having trouble getting Apache virtual hosts to function
on my work PC.
PHP works. The PHP info page loads fine. I just can't get any
virtual hosts
to function. Get "Cannot find server or DNS Error."
The identical configuration on my home machine works fine.
Some details
below.
Windows HOSTS file:

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Bev,
I tried various local IP addresses with no luck.
However, I do think it may be a local LAN or HOSTS file
issue. If I remove
the proper references from my home HOSTS file, I get the
identical behavior
as my work machine.
Is there a Windows HOSTS file bypass or Group Policy setting
that our IT
department may have changed?

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.

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 fetching policy-file-request

According to
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security_print.html
quote:
* A SWF file may no longer make a socket connection to its
own domain without a socket policy file. Prior to version
9,0,115,0, a SWF file was permitted to make socket connections to
ports 1024 or greater in its own domain without a policy file.
* HTTP policy files may no longer be used to authorize
socket connections. Prior to version 9,0,115,0, an HTTP policy
file, served from the master location of /crossdomain.xml on port
80, could be used to authorize a socket connection to any port 1024
or greater on the same host.
So with the tighter security measures, a policy file has to
be fetched on port 843 or on the same port on which a connection is
desired. That leads to another problem. The policy file request
made by the player has a simple format: clear text
<policy-file-request/> is sent as raw data bytes on
the ports.
As most firewalls block such raw data traffic (of unknown
protocols) on all the ports, this means that the policy file fetch
will fail almost always if the user is behind any firewall.
This will render all SWFs, that do not use well known ports,
unusable. Does anyone know what is the solution to this
problem? Or am I missing something here?

Common guys, someone has to know what to do here.
I have read all that I can read and tried all that I could
and the flash app is not accepting my policy file.

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

Also, paste the weblogic relative portions from your httpd.conf

I also used ?__WebLogicBridgeConfig to verify that it did pick up thewrong port.
Here is my build date for mod_wl.so in SP10

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

file
they are placed.

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

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.
