Hi,

In Virgo is it possible to specify multiple host entries in tomcat-server.xml? I've tried, but cannot reach applications in any host other than the default "localhost". Basically I don't see how I could for example deploy an application to the pickup directory, and associate it with a particular host.

What I'd like to do is deploy applications in Virgo such that:

www.domainA.com - serves WAB A that uses application in Plan S
www.domainB.com - serves WAB B that uses application in Plan S

where Plan S defines a shared application providing services that all domains use.

Thanks,
Jack

can you see whether this enhancement (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=310775) is what you asked for?

Thanks Violeta, yes that describes exactly what I'm asking for. The note about having virtual hosts using different WARs to server "/" context is particularly relevant.

It appears that configuration of virtual hosts in Tomcat isn't currently supported by VTS. If so, should it be noted in the User Guide?
