creating the hosts in the tomcat server in ubuntu

creating the hosts in the tomcat server in Ubuntu


step1:  In the /var/lib/tomcat6/conf/Catalina path we create folder with hostname 
           example: 'restarant'


step2: In that folder we create the file with name  'ROOT.xml'
           /var/lib/tomcat6/conf/Catalina/restaurant/ROOT.xml


step3: put following code in the ROOT.xml file

           <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

           <Context displayName="hostname" docBase="/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/warfilename/"                                                path=""  workDir="work/Catalina/hostname/_">

          </Context>

            example :

           <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

           <Context displayName="restaurant" docBase="/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/Restaurant/" path=""

           workDir="work/Catalina/restaurant/_">

          </Context>

step4:  In the /var/lib/tomcat6/conf/server.xml file  host tag(<Host>) data will be re paste in the file after close the host tag(</Host> and change the data in the 

example:

<Host name="hostname"  appBase="webapps/warfilename/"
            unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
            xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">

        <!-- SingleSignOn valve, share authentication between web applications
             Documentation at: /docs/config/valve.html -->
        <!--
        <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SingleSignOn" />
        -->

        <!-- Access log processes all example.
             Documentation at: /docs/config/valve.html -->
        <!--
        <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs"
               prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".txt" pattern="common" resolveHosts="false"/>
        -->

      </Host>

step5: in Filesystem/etc/hosts file add the hostname and localhost port like
example:  127.0.0.1 restaurant


step6: restart the server

step7: In browser enter url like
example:  http://restaurant:8080/(hostname:portnumber)
