Here we go again - mod_webapp and mod_rewrite
i originally posted this to tomcat-users, but i think it might be better
served here.
i know this topic is old and has been discussed at length before, i'm still
having trouble finding an elegant solution. i used to use apache with
mod_jserv and some simple url rewriting. moving to tomcat, i have
encountered problems with mod_webapp and mod_rewrite. specifically, the
original URI being rewritten instead of just passed through.
for example: (these are nested inside VirtualHost tags)
==================
ApJServMount /servlets ajpv12://localhost:8007/root
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/ir/images
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/ir/html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/ir/applets
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/ir/dtds
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.html
RewriteRule ^/.* /servlets/RequestHandler [PT]
</IfModule>
==================
used to work with ApacheJServ and ApacheModuleRewrite.dll while
==================
WebAppConnection warpConnection warp localhost:8008
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/ir/images
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/ir/html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/ir/applets
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/ir/dtds
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.html
RewriteRule ^/.* /site/servlet/RequestHandler [PT]
</IfModule>
WebAppDeploy site warpConnection /site
==================
doesn't work at all. using the [R] flag does sucessfully redirect the
rewritten request, but the new URI is used instead of the old, as was the
behavior under JServ.
can anyone point me in the right direction here? i've seen home-brew
patches to various connection handlers that see to fudge the behavior i'm
looking for, but certainly there must be something i'm missing.
i'm using:
tomcat 4.0.4
apache 1.3.26
windows 2000
any help much appreciated!!!!

Brendan,
I had a similar experience back in April and solved it by hacking
mod_webapp myself. I tried posting my problem to tomcat-dev only to be
greeted with credulity as Tomcat takes the high road with respect to being
a reference implementation and mod_rewrite lets you do things Sun's
specification specifically prohibits. None-the-less, I am true believer in
mod_rewrite and was un-willing to give it up, especially because there are
things you just can't do without it.
Below is a listing of my hack to mod_webapp.c. It works fine on RH Linux
6.2 and 7.2, but I have not tried it on Windows, so you're on your own as
far as compiling it.
Hope this helps,
Dan

We're woring on mod_webapp for Apache 2.0, and that will work with windows
as well, now that Aaron wrote the APR resourcelist, we're really close to
completion.

touche! so let me ask you this, what are some alternative connectors?
mod_webapp seems like the most current and best idea.
