application.xml : 2 web modules for 1 war

[iliberman]

I have a war file inside an ear file that I would like to get "mounted" by tomcat under 2 different context paths. I have attempted to do the following in application.xml:

 <module>
 <web>
 <web-uri>mypp.war</web-uri>
 <context-root>foo</context-root>
 </web>
 </module>
 <module>
 <web>
 <web-uri>myapp.war</web-uri>
 <context-root>bar</context-root>
 </web>
 </module>

I am hoping to be able to examing the context path value at runtime and have that drive some display layout logic (co-branding). XML config above does not to the trick - only the first web module becomes available.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks!

I have the same need/problem, and in my opinion it is a bug.
Ie the container is not respecting the j2ee 1.4 specs:

J2EE.8.4.1 Deploying a Stand-Alone J2EE Module
...[omissis]...
4. The deployment tool must allow the Deployer to deploy the same module multiple
times, as multiple independent applications, possibly with different configurations.
For example, the enterprise beans in an ejb-jar file might be
deployed multiple times under different JNDI names and with different configurations
of their resources.

J2EE.8.4.2 Deploying a J2EE Application

5. The deployment tool must allow the Deployer to deploy the same J2EE application
multiple times, as multiple independent applications, possibly with different

Any comment?
