We're doing essentially the same thing. First thing you'll need to do
is upgrade to Tomcat 3.2. There are lots of reasons other than the
virtual hosting support to do this.
If you use multiple <Host name="..."> entries where the name matches the
ServerName from httpd.conf, it should pick the proper host. Each <Host>
can have its own context with path="".
Example httpd.conf:
<VirtualHost www.a.com>
ServerName www.a.com
DocumentRoot /opt/tomcat/webapps/www.a.com
JkMount /servlet/* lbworker
JkMount /*.jsp lbworker
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost www.b.com>
ServerName www.b.com
DocumentRoot /opt/tomcat/webapps/www.b.com
JkMount /servlet/* lbworker
JkMount /*.jsp lbworker
</VirtualHost>
Example server.xml:
<Host name="www.a.com">
<Context path="" docBase="webapps/www.a.com" />
</Host>
<Host name="www.b.com">
<Context path="" docBase="webapps/www.b.com" />
</Host>
I don't think there is any reason why this wouldn't work with mod_jserv,
but I've only tested it with mod_jk and ajp12.
Is this documented in the new user guides? If not, it might be helpful
if it was.
