Using virtual hosts with JBoss-Jetty

[mpecher]

Hi,
I want to be able to have the same instance of JBoss-Jetty take request for
different hosts (www.site1.com --> site1.ear and www.site2.com --> site2.ear) etc

I searched the manual, Jetty JavaDoc etc but don't seem to be able to get this working.
Ok, by my understanding I need to:

1. Modify the jboss-service.xml, adding:

www.site1.com
/site1
C:\jboss-3.0.1\server\default\deploy\site1.war


2. Modify the jboss-web.xml for site1.war and add
<virtual-host>site1</virtual-host>

This doesn't seem to work (even though no exceptions etc are thrown).

Does anyone know the how to do this? (The doco doesn't give any good/complete examples).

Cheers,
Marcus.

There are two deployment mechanisms available to you :

1) Jetty's original, proprietary configuration file (now the ConfigurationElement in jboss-service.xml).

2) Via JBoss (deploy/, JMX, etc...)

If you use both, you will most likely confuse Jetty.

To get back to your problem, look back through this forum for a posting of the JBoss/Jetty FAQ. I think it contains an item on how you can attach an app to virtual hosts via a WEB-INF/jetty-web.xml.

I will be updating the FAQ tonight with another item. If I do not see the item that I am describing already there, I will see if I can find the mails that went around about this and add something to the FAQ.

Let me know how you get on.

Thanks Jules,

Got it working using only <virtual-host> tag inside the jboss-web.xml for each .ear/.war (thanks Jan Bartel).

I suppose what confused me was some conflicting doco.
In the Jetty forum, Greg Wilkins mentioned that using the

>
> test.mydomain.com
> /
> <SystemProperty name="jetty.webapp" default
> ="./webapps/default"/>
> /etc/webdefault.xml
> false
>

is not recommended for JBoss-Jetty bundle. But nowhere in the doco does it mention this.

Maybe when you update the FAQ, you can point out any differences like this b/w using Jetty by itself and
bundled with JBoss etc.

Cheers,
Marcus.

I've updated the FAQ - see the 'How do I configure the Jetty Service ?'
