All,

We have a store set-up on Ofbiz, lets say
www.abc.com/ecommerce/control/main. As a next step we are looking at
launching another store targetted at a sub-vertical within the abc space
with a different view/catalog running of the same instance. The new store
should be accessible @ www.def.abc.com/defecommerce/control/main. The
following are the steps we followed:

a) Created a new Store
b) Created a new website and associated the store created in step a with
this site.
c) Replicated the ecommerce webapp and renamed it as defecommerce.
d) Altered the ofbiz-component.xml and added the following entry:

    <webapp name="defecommerce"
        title="Def ECommerce"
        server="default-server"
        location="webapp/defecommerce"
        mount-point="/defecommerce"
        app-bar-display="false">
                <virtual-host host-name="www.def.abc.com"/>
        </webapp>

e) Edited the web.xml under WEB-INF, to point to the new website id.
f) On restarting the ofbiz instance, while both the ecommerce instances can
be accessed, the static resources served out of the images component, are
not being served for the defecommerce webapp. Access logs show that all
static resource fetch requests have received http 400 error code response.
Would this means that all static resources need to be served out of the same
webapp, defecommerce ?

TIA,
