Apache, Tomcat, mod_webapp and Static files
I have Apache configured to delivier a number
of websites using the VirtualHost. I have since
added a webapp to one site using the
WebAppDeploy directive. Problem is that
all files are now delivered from Tomcat. Is
there a gude somewhere on how to have
Apache deliver the static files and have Tomcat
deliver the jsp's?
Thanks,
Bob Byron

Mod_webapp forwards all requests for a directory to the app and as of right
now, there is no "send jsp's to TC, but serve out the rest local". As I
understand it from Pier's past posts, this is in the future without a
definite time table. For now, best bet is to either place the static content
in a separate dir not forwarded by mod_webapp or use mod_jk instead. Mod_jk
uses wild cards to selectively forward only some requests while leaving
others.

Hi Paul,
You can actually do this in Apache, webapp sets itself up as the default
handler for all files under the context you've set it to (I wrote about this
a while back). To have static files (i.e. .html) processed by Apache you can
override mod_webapp by doing something like this:
AddHandler default-handler .gif .jpeg .html
This does however depend on your Apache configuration (i.e. which order
handlers are called), but normally you should be OK.
Regards,
James

We experienced a similar problem. Our solution was to place the static
pages in the document root .../www/html while having the webapp utilize
something like /webapp/
Using paths such as /images to serve up graphics and such, Apache serves the
static, while only passing anything with a /webapp/ url to Tomcat. Not the
prettiest of solutions, but it seemed the simpliest.

I still would like to know how to have Apache handle the static
files while Tomcat handles the dynamic ones.
