mapping or handler problem

[Jonathan Soons <js...@juilliard.edu>]

I am using mod_webapp and it serves up a servlet no problem
from the configured context so that:
http://server/datatel/servlet/servletname
works fine and datatel is the app and configured context.
I need to make the same servlet work with the  URL:
http://server/servlet/servletname
since I cannot change the URL.
Should I use :
<Location /servlet>
	SetHandler run_servlet
</Location>

if so, what is run_servlet really?

If not, is there a right way?

Thank you

jonathan

This is so nasty. ;-)

The easiest way is to install "servletname.class" in
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes.  In this case, the Invoker will
pick it up for the DefaultContext.

Since "easiest" rarely works :), you could try using Apache's mod_rewrite to
send the request to the right place:
RewriteRule ^/servlet/servletname/.* /datatel/servlet/servletname/$1 [PT]

The problem with this, is that to get it to work depends on which mod_jk
version you are using.  For the JK 1.1 (the one that ships with 3.3.x) or
1.2, the directive (in your httpd.conf) is:
JkOptions ForwardURICompat

For JK2, I don't know the option.
