Just a quick question on capability.  

With IBM Commerce Enterprise, using extended sites.

I want to create say, three estores:

www.mystore.com
www.hisstore.com
www.herstore.com

With Commerce and IHS, can I browse to "http://www.mystore.com/" and the storefront appear?  Or will it always be "http://www.mystore.com/some/path"

I know this may seem silly, but I can do it with JBoss and Weblogic, but I'm not finding out a straight answer on being able to do it with Websphere/Commerce.

Edit:  As an example, in weblogic say I have an app:
www.mystore.com/webapp/store/

I load the weblogic module in apache, and proceed with proxying the context root to via weblogic module to the weblogic cluster, and trim the context root from the path.

-location directive

SetHandler Weblogic
PathTrim "/webapp/store"

-end location directive


So when people point their browser to "http://www.mystore.com/", they get the storefront as presented by weblogic.

Does websphere have the same capability (I assume so), and does it provide it for multiple sites via esites?

So as I am new to supporting Commerce.  Based on the lack of reply's either there is a better site with more activity, or HR is right and there just isn't alot of Commerce people out there. :-)

Hi Robo,

I think you need Apache mod_rewrite in your case.

This would get you started goo.gl/Y8ID 

Not sure if I'm reading this right, but it sounds like what I did. I have two stores (e-sites) both with their own secure and non-secure ports.

To use a different cert for secure, we have 2 IPs bound to eth0 and virtual host directives to accomodate.

In the IBM httpd.conf file, I  commented out the VH directives for port 80 and 443 and included my own conf file with listens for 80 and 443 for both IPs and VirtualHost directives based on the names (www.myfirst.com, www.myother.com), with the SSLServerCert directive in the 443 VH entries. I also separated out the log files so that each store has their own.... just easier for me to analyze.
