[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAS-4043) Allow webapps for different tomcat services to be deployed in the same .ear

[Russ Egan (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-4043?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12487809#action_12487809 ] 

Russ Egan commented on JBAS-4043:
---------------------------------

We hit a use case for this.  Our main web app runs on one port, using a connector that uses SSL, but doesn't require client cert auth.  This is our main user web site.

We also have http invokers running for server-to-server communication.  These require SSL client cert auth.  It's unclear how to do this easily in JBoss.  The intuitive approach would be two tomcat services, and assigning web apps to the appropriate service.  

Our current kludge is having one service, two connectors, and using Valves to filter traffic based on port (each webapp gets its own valve that retricts traffic to a particular port).  This is a bit brittle, since we have to maintain the port numbers in two places.

>         Environment: jboss with embedded tomcat configured with 2 services, like in JBAS-2410

> The second tomcat service has its own deployment directory, so the deployment has to be splitted into two separate files. This causes timing problems (resulting in NoClassDefFoundError), because our ejb3 application takes much longer to deploy than our (separate) webapp.
> Maybe a new tag in jbossweb.xml could target the webapp to the respective tomcat-service? That would allow to pack all webapps into the same .ear
