Hi, I have following situation:
Business wishes (God knows why) to have a proxy proxying 6 different context's on our server and fetching context from another server: http://ourserver/foo/bla.html (internally fetched from ) http://anotherserver/ourname/foo/bla.html http://ourserver/bar/bla.html -> http://anotherserver/ourname/bar/bla.html ...and so on. I wrote a small webapp (1 servlet, 1 url-fetcher) which maps the context and path, fetches the content of the url and delivers it to the user. Let's say it's xxx webapp. I didn't want to make a copy of it for any of foo,bar, etc context's, so I droped following xml files into my $catalina_home/conf/Catalina/localhost: foo.xml with content: <Context path="/foo" docBase="xxx"/>, bar.xml with content: <Context path="/bar" docBase="xxx"/>, and so on, for each context. Everything is working fine, except, that the webapp is loaded once per context which makes 6 times for now and probably 60 in half year. I think it's a waste of resources and am searching for another solution. Note that I already have a ROOT webapp (otherwise I'd place it under root with servlet mapping instead of contexts) which I'd like not to touch, because of different release cycles of both applications. What is the best strategy to achieve my goal (having multiple context mappings to one instantiated webapp) ? Virtual hosts? URL Rewriting Filter in ROOT webapp? Something else? Thanx in advance :-) Regards Leon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
