Tomcat Domain for redirects
Hi all,
I'm not that good at configuring Tomcat so I thought I'd ask here. My
problem is that I have a server that is running Tomcat 5.5 and an
Apache server that runs on port 80 and uses mod_jk to redirect all
incoming requests to the tomcat server.
So far, so good. The problem is that I want to access the server from
outside my local network, so instead of accessing http://server1/app/
I now have http://server1.example.com/app/ which automatically
redirects to an index page, but on the wrong address (http://server1/
app/welcome instead of http://server1.example.com/app/welcome) which
is kind of annoying.
As this happens in many different places I assume that the tomcat
server somehow believes that he is server1 instead of
server1.example.com.
Any directions on where to look?
Regards,
Chris

Problem is that I also host some PHP and RubyOnRails apps on the same server
and I'd like to keep them running ^^

So let's start at the beginning. Why do you have httpd in the picture at all, if everything's being sent to Tomcat? Simplify your life.

This seems to have done the trick, the redirects now finally work properly ^^
It would be nice for it to autodiscover the domain a request came from, but
that's fine by me because it's just a test machine, and I'll have my
sysadmin bothering with the deployment later ^^

Read Apache HTTPD docs on how it determines its server name. I guess
it should have been the ServerName directive,
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#servername
If I remember correctly, mod_jk passes that information to Tomcat, but if that
does not work, it can be overwritten in <Connector> element by setting
proxyName and proxyPort attributes,
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/ajp.html

I'm also going to start at the beginning, but in a different way.
So why don't you force Tomcat to believe he /is/ server1.example.com ?
Such as putting that name in your hosts file and in the <Host> tag, I guess.
