Setting Up Virtual Hosts on OC4J

Objective

Setup multiple domains using a single IP address.

Requirements

This is a very basic example, it does not take into account using shared applications or event the use of .war or .ear files. This is left as an exercise for the reader.

Example Domains: gerardnico.com,
Example IP Address: 127.0.0.1

Steps

Create directories under $OC4J_HOME\applications\ for each domain.

    mkdir $OC4J_HOME\applications\gerardnico

Add to the directory a index.html file.

Contents of $OC4J_HOME\applications\gerardnico\index.html:

    <html><head><title>gerardnico.com</title></head>
      <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
        <h2>gerardnico.com</h2>
      </body>
    </html>

Create WEB-INF directories for the domains.

    mkdir $OC4J_HOME\applications\gerardnico\WEB-INF

Each WEB-INF directory should contain a web.xml file.

Contents of $OC4J_HOME\applications\gerardnico\WEB-INF\web.xml

    <web-app>
 
      <display-name>gerardnico.com</display-name>
 
      <description>
        gerardnico.com
      </description>
 
      <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
      </welcome-file-list>
 
    </web-app>

Create web-site XML file for each domain.

Contents of $OC4J_HOME\config\gerardnico-web-site.xml:

    <web-site host="127.0.0.1" port="80" display-name="gerardnico" virtual-hosts="gerardnico.com">
 
      <!-- The default web-app for this site, bound to the root -->
      <default-web-app application="default" name="gerardnico" />
 
      <access-log path="../log/gerardnico-web-access.log" />
 
    </web-site>

Edit $OC4J_HOME\config\application.xml. Add the following lines:

     <web-module id="gerardnico" path="../../home/applications/gerardnico" />

Edit $OC4J_HOME\config\server.xml. Add the following lines:

    <web-site path="./gerardnico-web-site.xml" />

Restart OC4J and test.
