[Jetty-support] Fwd: Re: Jetty 6 with multiple virtual hosts

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

There has been to response to my email below of November 21st.  But
with Greg's new documentation, I will restate my question regarding
Jetty 6.1(SVN) as follows:

1. I can successfully deploy all my webapps (both .war and
directories) using the following statement(s) in my jetty.xml file
(depricacted approach):

<New id="StoriesContext" class="org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
      <Arg><Ref id="contexts"/></Arg>
      <Arg><SystemProperty name="jetty.home"
default="."/>/webapps/stories.war</Arg>
      <Arg>/</Arg>
      <Set name="defaultsDescriptor"><SystemProperty name="jetty.home"
default="."/>/etc/webdefault.xml</Set>
      <Set name="virtualHosts">
        <Array type="java.lang.String">
          <Item>ww2.preservingstories.com</Item>
          <Item>ww2.documentingyourlife.com</Item>
        </Array>
      </Set>
 </New>

2. Per Greg's documentation and the information on the Wiki, the
following is the setup in jetty.xml (default example with jetty.xml)
for the newer approach for webapps (Jetty 6.1):

    <Call name="addLifeCycle">
      <Arg>
        <New class="org.mortbay.jetty.deployer.ContextDeployer">
          <Set name="contexts"><Ref id="Contexts"/></Set>
          <Set name="configurationDir"><SystemProperty
name="jetty.home" default="."/>/contexts</Set>
          <Set name="scanInterval">1</Set>
        </New>
      </Arg>
    </Call>

AND the following context is setup as stories.xml in the
/jetty/contexts directory:

  <Set name="contextPath">/stories</Set>
  <Set name="resourceBase"><SystemProperty name="jetty.home"
default="."/>/webapps/stories</Set>
  <Set name="virtualHosts">
        <Array type="java.lang.String">
          <Item>ww2.preservingstories.com</Item>
          <Item>ww2.documentingyourlife.com</Item>
        </Array>
      </Set>

3. Configuration 1 above works as intended -- no problems -- both
www.preservingstories.com and www.documentingyourlife.com find the
webpage and display it as intended. (My DNS forwards
www.documentingyourlife.com to ww2.documentingyourlife.com:5000 and so
on).

4. Configuration 2 above results in Error 404 with the contexts
discovered and deployed but no access or display of the webapp using
the URL.

5.  What needs to be done to make configuration 2 equivalent in
function to configuration 1 above.  Note that I use configuration 1
with many different web sites all hosted from the same IP address but
with different URLs and web content. It has been working great for
some time now - eight different web contexts, many with virtual hosts.
That's all I wish to do with configuration 2 but so far -- it does not
work per my configuration.  The only difference I see is that in
configuration 1, an additional <ARG>/</ARG> is supplied to the New ID
and it works.  I don't see how to accomplish the equivalent argument
in configuration 2.

Please advise,

Thanks,

Paul

My DNS is setup to webforward as follows:
http://www.preservingstories.com forwards to
http://ww2.preservingstories.com:5000

The webapp/ content is the following war files:
stories.war and familyhap.war  and the following directories:
test, ulodging, test-jaas, rei, pswdic, uniting, romance

The above are verified in the results indicated below.

The /contexts contents contains: stories.xml, familyhap.xml and test.xml

The jetty.xml is the standard jetty.xml generated in the latest SVN of
Jetty 6.1 -- with the port modified from 8080 to 5000.
