Question

I am in the process of migrating an old model 1 java based website, to use an under development restful-api (with the long term goal of providing a PaaS and any other buzzwords I can find).

I want to use multiple different WAR files for different modules of functionality. I know how to do this

www.myLegacy.com/myWarFile/myFirstMethod
www.myLegacy.com/myWarFile/mySecondMethod
www.myLegacy.com/mySecondWarFile/ThirdMethod (in different war file, and consequently diff url)

However I want to be able to deploy multiple war files to the same url like :

www.myLegacy.com/myRest/myFirstMethod
www.myLegacy.com/myRest/mySecondMethod
www.myLegacy.com/myRest/ThirdMethod (this is in different war file to other methods)

This is would use the full spring stack (inc spring-mvc) with tomcat.

Any pointers please ?

Answer 1

I dont think it is possible straight away as Tomcat starts different war files in different context paths. Only thing I can think of is deploying myRest.war and mySecondWarFile.war and adding a mapping for /ThirdMethod in myRest application itself and routing the request to /mySecondWar/ThirdMethod .
