Is there a way to deploy multiple vertx apps with HTTP server on same machine?

[javadevmtl]

So I have two separate "web" applications which are started in their own JVM instance and I would like to deploy them on the same box with the same port. I guess this is not possible?

Kinda like having Jetty, Apache or IIS which is one server serving/hosting multiple web applications/WARs.

I assume some sort of custom solution would have to be implemented for this....

Just make sure they are using different ports.  I do this all the time.

I mis-read your question.  You cannnot have multiple different services using the same port on the same IP address.  The operating system wouldn't know which service you intended to talk to if they were on the same port.

Yeah I know. I was just wondering if people have some solution. Cause I would like to run all apps on the standard http(s) ports.

I guess one way would be to reverse proxy it, but bleh, don't feel like having to install yet another thing lol! I'm on windows, I could try with IIS but do i really want to try??? lol and Nginx is not robust for Windows yet 9Something to do with threading model).

The real cool way would be to write one vertx based HTTP server and based on the PATH route to different "application" verticles/handlers internally. So every time you drop a module in the modules folder it registers itself with the main HTTP server and voila...

But again to much work for what is is now...

You should be able to put the http handler into one verticle/jvm and call the other jvm from that via the event bus (not sure how to autoconfigure that though)

If you want to do it with http, you will have to implement a proxy request based on paths from one http handler to the other, that should be rather simple.

Incidentally, you cannot run a jetty or tomcat server in two instances on the same port either, if you are running two webapps, the listener and the webapp instances are always in the same jvm.
