Hi,

I guess you just want to do virtual hosting inside a single BlueBream
application server...
The simplest way to handle such a configuration is to "hide" the BB
server behind (for example) an Apache HTTP server with rewrite rules.

For example :

<VirtualHost w.x.y.z:80>
    ServerName    www.site1.org
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule   /(.*)    http://localhost:8080/site1/++vh++http:%{SERVER_NAME}:80/++/$1 [P,L]
</VirtualHost>

and idem for site2.

Given this configuration, any call to absoluteUrl(object,request) will
retrieve a good URL matching the given site.

With hope this helps...

Regards,
Thierry
