Hi Konstantin, > BTW, you can put those names in an external file and use it in the > server.xml as an XML entity. Like the example in > http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Password
Inspired by this thread and having a similar issue in maintaining virtual host aliases I edited my server.xml as follows: I added this before the <Server>. <!DOCTYPE aliases-xml [ <!ENTITY aliases SYSTEM "/path/to/network/storage/aliases.txt"> ]> I moved my <Alias> tags to /path/to/network/storage/aliases.txt, substituting &aliases; This works very well. Thanks! > and use JMX or call mapper.addHostAlias(..) directly to add aliases > programmatically at runtime. (though there is no guarantee that the > Mapper API does not change between Tomcat minor releases). I investigated what an implementation of this might look like at a higher level. In looking through the Tomcat interfaces it looks like this is similar to the notion of automatically creating Context for users with a UserConfig listener. It would be an AliasConfig class extending HostConfig. <Listener className="my.web.server.listener.package.AliasConfig" aliases="/path/to/alias/file"/> Then in the start event function it is as simple as "host.addAlias(subDomainName);" for each alias found in the aliases file. Does this make sense?
