Steps for proxy a request to SimpleServlet.com
hosts file:
$ nano /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 SimpleServlet.com
Tomcat changes:
on my deploy, the webapps directory is: :/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps
$ nano /etc/tomcat6/server.xml
#### Inside of the <Engine> tag add below:
<!– SimpleServlet.com –>
<Host
name="SimpleServlet.com"
appBase="webapps/SimpleServlet"
unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true">
<Context
path=""
docBase=""
debug="1"
reloadable="true"/>
<Valve
className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
directory="logs"
prefix="tomcat_access_"
suffix=".log"
pattern="common"
resolveHosts="false"/>
</Host>
#### After the </Engine> tag add the below.
#### Each Virtual Host Proxy must be on a different port, remember this for your SimpleServlet.com Apache2 entry
<Connector port="9282" proxyPort="80" proxyName="SimpleServlet.com"/>
Apache2:
$ sudo a2enmod proxy
$ sudo a2enmod proxy_http
$ cd /etc/apache2/sites-available
$ nano SimpleServlet.com
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName SimpleServlet.com
<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
