I want to deploy my webapp with two different ports having two different deployment descriptors. Is there a way to do so? I know how can I deploy a webapp on multiple ports. Wonder if we can provide separate deployment descriptor for an app being deployed on each connector.
<Service name="serviceA">
<Connector port="8080" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="10"
enableLookups="false" acceptCount="100"
connectionTimeout="10000" disableUploadTimeout="true"
useBodyEncodingForURI="true"/>
<Engine name="serviceA" defaultHost="localhost" jvmRoute="host1">
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm"
resourceName="UserDatabase" />
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="false" xmlValidation="false"
xmlNamespaceAware="false" xmlBase="PATH_TO_CUSTOM_web.xml">
<Context docBase="browser" path="/browser" reloadable="false"/>
</Host>
</Engine>
</Service>
<Service name="serviceB">
<Connector port="8081" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="10"
enableLookups="false" acceptCount="100"
connectionTimeout="10000" disableUploadTimeout="true"
useBodyEncodingForURI="true"/>
<Engine name="serviceB" defaultHost="localhost" jvmRoute="host1">
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm"
resourceName="UserDatabase" />
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="false" xmlValidation="false"
xmlNamespaceAware="false" xmlBase="PATH_TO_CUSTOM_web.xml">
<Context docBase="browser" path="/browser" reloadable="false"/>
</Host>
</Engine>
</Service>
Something like xmlBase="PATH_TO_CUSTOM_web.xml"
One can specify absolute path to the deployment descriptor instead of the default value.
