In the Configuring Virtual Host in Tomcat section we describe how to define a Virtual Host in the Geronimo's config.xml so applications can be deployed to specific hosts ( Virtual Hosts) with a minimal configuration on the application deployment plans side. The need to define Virtual Hosts at the server level ( config.xml ) only applies to Geronimo with Tomcat distributions.

For the Jetty distribution of Apache Geronimo this configuration is dramatically simpler.

In this example we continue to use the HelloWorld Web sample application covered in the Quick start - Apache Geronimo for the impatient section. Here is a summary of steps

  1. Create a app_home directory somewhere in the file system, from now on we will reference this location as <app_home>.
  2. Create a HelloWorld.jsp file in the <app_home> directory and paste the following content. Code BlockXMLtitleHelloWorld.jspXML <html> <head> <jsp:useBean id="datetime" class="java.util.Date"/> <title>Basic HelloWorld JSP</title> </head> <body bgcolor="#909DB8"> <h1><font face="tahoma" color="white">Hello world from GERONIMO!</font></h1> <font face="tahoma" color="white">on ${datetime}</font> </body> </html>
  3. Create a WEB-INF directory under <app_home>.
  4. Create a web.xml file in the <app_home>\WEB-INF directory and paste the following content. Code BlockXMLtitleweb.xmlXML <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>HelloWorld.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> </web-app>
  5. Create a geronimo-web.xml file in the <app_home>\WEB-INF directory and paste the following content. Code BlockXMLtitlegeronimo-web.xmlXML <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web-1.2"> <environment> <moduleId> <groupId>sample.applications</groupId> <artifactId>HelloWorldApp</artifactId> <version>2.1</version> <type>war</type> </moduleId> </environment> <context-root>/hello</context-root> <!-- Add this line to define a new Virtual Host in Geronimo - Jetty --> <virtual-host>virtualhost1.com</virtual-host> </web-app>

If you compare this deployment plan with the one described in the Quick start - Apache Geronimo for the impatient section you will note that only one line has been added, that is <virtual-host>virtualhost1.com</virtual-host>. This is all you need to define a virtual host in Geronimo with Jetty.

Note that even when the successful deployment message on screen shows that the application has been deployed to the http://XYZ:8080/hello host, the application will only be accessible via the virtual host previously defined in the <virtual-host> tag on the geronimo-web.xml deployment plan.
