Duplicate webbapps from same source with tomcat












0















I have a webapp that will be set up as multiple instances in server.xml. For example:




  • app1.localhost

  • app2.loaclhost

  • app3.localhost


They will then all have their own directories as




  • [tomcat]webappsapp1

  • [tomcat]webappsapp2

  • [tomcat]webappsapp3


If a change is made globally i don't really want to update them all. Lest say i have the file [tomcat]webappsapp1viewshome.html changed, i would need to replace them 3 times.



Therefore i have removed the directory "views" in app2 and app3 and in the server.xml has done this for these two:



<Context docBase="[tomcat]webappsapp1views" path="/views" />


This works well and i can now only update the first app and the other two will have the same information.



However, in each root there's some stand alone files as well which i also would want to do this with. For example index.html.



<Context docBase="[tomcat]webappsapp1index.html" path="/index.html" />


Is not working (not really that unexpexted).



In each webappsappX i still however want to have WEB-INFweb.xml and another config file kept in the root, all other files should be mirrored from app1, so i cant really mirror the whole directory.
Maybe i could to this, if i can do something like "mirror the whole directory but skip these files" :)



Any ideas or suggestions?
