    Can just never get virtual hosts working

      I should add...

      this is the thread I was working off of but was not successful in copying the information from:

          Just wanted to update others on the successful progress I have made. Now the Approach #1 that I listed works. In the deploy directory, I have 2 subdirectories:

          abc.war and xyz.war

          in each of those directories, I have an index.jsp file to identify each home page for each host uniquely, and I have a WEB-INF directory with a jbos-web.xml file that only contains the following data:

          <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
          <!DOCTYPE jboss-web PUBLIC "-//JBoss//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-web_3_0.dtd">
          <jboss-web>
          <context-root>/</context-root>
          <virtual-host>abc.com</virtual-host>
          </jboss-web>

          the above file is in abc.war/WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml

          In the same file under xyz.war/WEB-INF, the "abc.com" reads "xyz.com" - everything else is the same.

          when I go to http://abc.com, I get the abc.war/index.jsp page

          when I go to http://xyz.com, I get the xyz.war/index.jsp page

          I still have not figured out how to do the multiple root contexts for virtual servers within (an) ear file(s). If anyone knows how to do this, I would still like to know.

            Not sure if this is what you were asking, but I have been able to get virtual hosts working from within EAR files.

            I am using JBoss 3.2.1, and have two EAR files set for virtual hosts. I have the jboss-web.xml configured exactly the way that you have it listed in your post. As far as the EAR, I have an entry like below:



            <web-uri>Test.war</web-uri>
            <context-root>/</context-root>



            I found that making the context-root "/" was the key. JBoss accepts multiple EAR files configured this way, since each EAR that wants to be a virtual host must be configured the same.

              reviving an old thread here . . .

              I'm using jboss 4.0, deploying multiple WARs inside of an EAR. Setting the virtual host inside of the jboss-web.xml seems to cause the war to be deployed twice.

              Anyone else experienced this problem or found a workaround?

              Here is an piece of the jboss log:

              7:00:28,407 INFO [TomcatDeployer] deploy, ctxPath=/, warUrl= ...
              17:00:28,847 INFO [TomcatDeployer] deploy, ctxPath=/, warUrl=file: ...
              


              The structure is like this:
              someear.ear
               META-INF
               application.xml
               site1.war
               WEB-INF
               web.xml
               jboss-web.xml
               site2.war
               . . .
              


              application.xml:
              <application>
               <display-name>My Site</display-name>
               <module>
               <web>
               <web-uri>site1.war</web-uri>
               <context-root>/</context-root>
               </web>
               </module>
              </application>
              


              jboss-web.xml:
              <jboss-web>
               <context-root>/</context-root>
               <virtual-host>www.site1.com</virtual-host>
               <virtual-host>site1.com</virtual-host>
              </jboss-web>
