Webapps-style war deployment

This article requires cleanup and may refer to a legacy version of Resin. Please visit http://www.caucho.com/documentation/ for the most up-to-date documentation.

When you have a single virtual host with multiple web-apps, you can use Resin's <web-app-deploy> tag to configure a webapps/ directory where all *.war files will be expanded.

When you add a new foo.war in webapps/foo.war, Resin will expand the archive into webapps/foo and serve the web-app in that directory. You can also create the webapps/foo directory without a .war file, or you can deploy the .war using Resin's deploy service, either through the /resin-admin, on the command-line or remotely.

The new webapps will share the behavior configured by the <web-app-default> tag. Essentially, the <web-app-default> acts as an include file where all the contents are evaluated for each webapp.

resin.web for webapps/

In the following configuration, the webapps are deployed in /var/www/webapps, the default virtual host serves all requests and there is a single cluster and single server in the cluster. When you need new servers, you can add <server> tags to the cluster.

<resin xmlns="http://caucho.com/ns/resin">
       xmlns:resin="urn:java:com.caucho.resin">

  <root-directory>/var/www</root-directory>

  <cluster id="">
    <resin:import path="${__DIR__}/app-default.xml"/>

    <server id="" port="6800">
      <http port="80"/>
      <user-name>resin</user-name>
      <group-name>resin</group-name>
    </server>

    <host id="">
      <access-log path="log/access.log"/>

      <web-app-default path="webapps/"/>
    </host>
  </cluster>
 </resin>

• The root of the server is /var/www
• The configuration uses the default cluster and a single server listening to port 80
• For security, the user is "resin" instead of root
• The default virtual host has an access log in log/access.log
• The web-apps are served out of the /var/www/webapps directory, as configured by web-app-default
