[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Portal] - Re: Virtual hosts and multiple portal server instances

[sverker]

Hi guys
I didn't receive much feedback on the virtual-host stuff. While I understand that it's not high priority for you to support virtual-hosts, I need to urgently solve this as I have some projects which has been on hold waiting for JBoss Portal (or similar component) but now I have to move on.

There are three alternatives:
1. Use JBoss Portal with my own modifications for virtual-host support and merge back later when eventually this issue is solved.

2. Dump JBoss Portal and use something else.

3. Work together with you guys to get virtual-host support implemented the correct way.

No 1 solves the problem temporarily but can potentially cause bigger problems later when migrating to mainstream release.

No 2 is possible but the alternatives I've been looking at I didn't like too much as they aren't properly integrated with the rest of the app server.

No 3 is preferable, but how can we move forward? I can write the code but need to communicate with you regarding how to design and integrate the support.

In http://jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=92151 Julien mentions namespaces. That the war file foo.war would be deployed to webapp:foo.default.default.

This would work, the namespace is like I used context in my proposal implementation. The virtual host details will then be bound to the webapp:foo namespace.

What do you think about that approach?
