-----------------------------------



What is the current status of this issue - is anyone working on a solution already?

I've been looking at the following use case/potential solution:
- a single JBoss server (or cluster of servers)
- Apache2 with mod_jk as the front end
- multiple `VirtualHost' definitions in Apache2
- each VirtualHost has a JkMount for /portal/* and /portal-core/*
- Each virtual site has it's own entry page, template, etc.  

However, there is no isolation between the sites - a user can construct a URL that let's them see content from any of the sites through any of the VirtualHosts.  This is a viable solution if all the sites are related.  If the sites are not related (e.g. if one site is for a mining company and another site is for an environment group), then such a solution would be inappropriate.

> JBoss Portal is today unable to support multiple virtual hosts, i.e. it's not possible to create a portal bound to the address www.foo.com and one that is bound to www.bar.com.
> This is a major problem for real world usage of JBoss Portal
