[OFBiz] Users - [OFBiz] User - Multiple Stores and Websites in a single instance

[mpf at zentric.com]

Since there where now answers in the dev-list. I cross post it. Please 
apologize.

Hello, anybody with a similar scenario?

We run with TOMCAT configured and have one product portfolio that should 
be represented in different layouts on different websites. This works 
perfect with categories -> catalogs -> store mapping. But then we want it 
as
__MultiStores and a single instance__
* www.mysite1.de reaches websiteid 1 that has store1 with catalog 1 
* www.mysite2.de reaches websiteid 2 that has store2 with catalog 2 
* www.mysite3.de reaches websiteid 3 that has store3 with catalog 2
.....

This is almost similar to the scenario described in the wiki at 
http://ofbizwiki.go-integral.com/Wiki.jsp?page=SSSMultiStores1
except that we want it mounted at "/" for all stores !!!!
 mount-point="/" in web.xml

If we do it as described with SSSMultiStores1 there is the following 
error, becauses multiple webapps want to use this mount-point.
>java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: addChild:  Child name '/' is not 
unique

The question is how to avoid it with TOMCAT!?

Approache 1
Maybe  some tweak with  Apache/AJP is a solution???
There is somethin documented at 
http://ofbizwiki.go-integral.com/Wiki.jsp?page=SSSMultiInstances
but it has the drawback that it needs a ofbiz instance for each 
store/website

Approache 2
Maybe a solution is a rewrite of the URLs on apache? Like this:
Request to 
-> www.mysite1.de -> ofbiz-server.net:8080/store1
I have no expierience with that...

Any tips welcome...I will document that on the wiki


This our current configuration ofbiz-container.xml which works with one 
website or with different mountpoints for each website
    <container name="catalina-container" class=
"org.ofbiz.catalina.container.CatalinaContainer">
        <!-- static configuration for tomcat -->

component/ecommerce/ofbiz-component.xml
<ofbiz-component name="ecommerce">

        <webapp name="ecommerce" 
            title="ECommerce" 
            server="default-server" 
            location="webapp/ecommerce" 
            mount-point="/ecommerce"

            location="webapp/adiva.ch"
            mount-point="/adiva-ch"
            app-bar-display="false"/>

            mount-point="/amandus"
            app-bar-display="false"/>
</ofbiz-component>
We need all webapps mount at /


webapp/adiva-ch/WEB-INF/web.xml

<web-app>
    <display-name>Open For Business - demostore</display-name>
    <description>Demo Store for the Open For Business Project</description
>

    <context-param>
        <param-name>webSiteId</param-name>
        <param-value>ADIVA-CH</param-value>
    <description>A unique ID used to look up the WebSite entity to get 
information about catalogs, etc.</description>
.....
</web-app>

What am I missing?
Thanks
Michael
