Tomcat Interview Questions and Answers

Answer: If you want tomcat to accept requests for different hosts e.g. www.myhostname.com then you must

Create ${catalina.home}/www/appBase , ${catalina.home}/www/deploy, and ${catalina.home}/conf/Catalina/www.myhostname.com
Add a host entry in the server.xml file
Create the the following file under conf/Catalina/www.myhostname.com/ROOT.xml
Add any parameters specific to this hosts webapp to this context file
Put your war file in ${catalina.home}/www/deploy
When tomcat starts, it finds the host entry, then looks for any context files and will start any apps with a context.

To add more sites just repeat and rinse, all webapps can share the same war file location and appbase.
