Hi All,

I'm trying to get tomcat to auto-recognize that I have new java applications (e.g. a new WEB-INF) in a sub-directory for my virtual hosts.. I'd like to make it so that I don't have to edit my server.xml every time I add a new app within some domain/sub domain... is this possible?

quickie background:
- Linux Fedora Core 4, apache 2.0.54, tomcat 5, mod_jk running nicely... - all my domains and sub-domains are in /var/www/vhosts/<domain> e.g. /var/www/vhosts/example1.com/htdocs/<java stuff> (java stuff = jsp files, WEB-INF directory, etc) e.g. /var/www/vhosts/example2.com/htdocs/<java stuff> (java stuff = jsp files, WEB-INF directory, etc) e.g. /var/www/vhosts/example2.com/sub-domain/cool/htdocs/<java stuff> (java stuff = jsp files, WEB-INF directory, etc)
      (the sub domain example would be: http://cool.example2.com)
   ....and so on...

I'd like to be able to add a new domain or sub domain, simply drop my app (associated jsps and WEB-INF stuff) into the appropriate directory of the new domain or sub domain, restart tomcat and *poof* have it work....
so my server.xml snippet looks like this:

-- I tried having defaultHost = localhost.. didn't really work, when I tried sub-domains I got "no host matches server name" -- My logic behind putting the "appBase" to vhosts, was so that tomcat could scan everything after that, and thus when it encounters a WEB-INF it would make it a context.. but not sure how that context would map to a specific domain... (hence the "deployOnStartup" = true) -- I added a context for example1.com which works.. but don't want to have to add one every time...

   <Engine name="PSA" defaultHost="example1.com" debug="0">
     <Host deployXML="true" name="example1.com" debug="0"
         appBase="/var/www/vhosts" unpackWARs="false" autoDeploy="true"
         liveDeploy="true" deployOnStartup="true">
           <!-- added a context, but don't want to.. -->
           <Context crossContext="false"
reloadable="false" useNaming="true" debug="0" swallowOutput="false"
           privileged="true" displayName="my app"
           docBase="/var/www/vhosts/example1.com/htdocs" cookies="true"
           path="" cachingAllowed="true"/>
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.MemoryRealm" debug="0" pathname="my-users/example1.com.xml" validate="true"/>
           <Alias>
       www.example1.com
           </Alias>
     </Host>
   </Engine>

...also, wondering about cooperation between apache and tomcat...
thanks in advance,
Mike
