To configure domain access using Tomcat, follow these steps:

  1. Open the server.xml configuration file for Tomcat, which is typically located in the conf folder of the Tomcat installation directory.
  2. Locate the following information in the server.xml file:
<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">

Add a new Host node to this node, configure the domain name and the corresponding application path, for example:

<Host name="www.example.com" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
  <Alias>example.com</Alias>
  <Context path="" docBase="yourAppName" debug="0"/>
</Host>

www.example.com is the domain you need to configure, and yourAppName is the name of the folder in the webapps directory where the application you want to access is located.

  1. Save the server.xml file and restart the Tomcat server.
  2. Resolve the domain name www.example.com to the IP address of the Tomcat server in the DNS server.
  3. You can access the application configured by Tomcat through the domain name www.example.com entered in the browser.

Please make sure to back up the server.xml file before proceeding with the above operation to avoid any configuration errors that may prevent Tomcat from starting.
