envirement:      jdk 1.4.2     tomcat 5.0.28   winXP

1.   setup virtual host

   1.1   modified the file %tomcat%/conf/ server.xml
       1.1.1 location:   search the string below:
             <!-- Define the default virtual host
               Note: XML Schema validation will not work with Xerces 2.2.
              -->
       1.1.2 add the string below to setup the new domain's default application

            <Host name="eric.zhu.net" debug="0"
               appBase="D:/launched/REQUEST  FORM/AjaxStart/build"
               unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false"
               xmlNamespaceAware="false">
            </Host>

 

    1.2  create the new project's source files
       1.2.1   add folder  ROOT  in this path  
             D:/launched/REQUEST FORM/AjaxStart/build
       1.2.2 put the project's files in this new folder: 
             D:/launched/REQUEST FORM/AjaxStart/build/ROOT
   1.3  now we can visit the new domain eric.zhu.net:port

    1.4  note: we need to visit the site like eric.zhu.net:8080/hello.jsp if no index.html file in the ROOT folder.

 

3.  add new virtual folder in refered domain.

    3.1 create folder named  eric.zhu.net in the path %tomcat%/conf/Catalina 
    3.2 create a new context file:    (%tomcat%/conf/Catalina/eric.zhu.net/AjaxStart.xml)
        the context file's content like these:
        <Context path="/AjaxStart" reloadable="true" docBase="E:/projects/AjaxStart/build" >
        </Context>

     3.3 now we can visit the url:  eric.zhu.net:port/ AjaxStart

4.  set host file to test the new domain: 
    (if we setup the server face to the street customer,
     we should setup DNS to implement ip and domain's reflect)
