How does one configure Plain host domain url to run web app?
(Tomcat 4.x)
I have the following url that runs an application (pseudo url for
discussion only)
http://www.mydomain.com/mysite/thecontext
works fine..
I would like to configure it so that..
http://www.mydomain.com
gets me to the same place..
I can place a "redirect" html page at
http://www.mydomain.com/mysite/index.html
which redirects to
http://www.mydomain.com/mysite/thecontext
but have yet to get a plain
http://www.mydomain.com
to work.. I keep getting either the "No Context configured....." error
or the dreaded index of the directory..
I've tried Aliaes, Document root, Directory, and various JkMount
settings in the Virtual host conf file that seemed like it might work,
but so far, no joy.. (Tried Googling it, but have not come up with the
right key words..)
Some of the things I have tried in the conf file..
==========================
Alias /mysite "usr/tomcat/webapps/mysite"
Alias / "usr/tomcat/webapps/mysite"
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/mysite/"
<Directory "/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/mysite">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.jsp
</Directory>
JkMount /mysite/thecontext ajp13
JkMount /mysite/*.jsp ajp13
..variations of..
JkMount /*.jsp ajp13 -- gives me a dreaded index of the correct
directory
JkMount /*.html ajp13 -- same as above
JkMount /*. ajp13 -- blank document (strange)
JkMount /* ajp13 -- context error
=================================
Suggestions appreciated..
(all of my other machines are running Tomcat 5.. I will be moving this
app next month.. so a Tomcat 5 suggestion would be welcome as well)

Folks,
I found the solution and it was embarrassingly simple.. (an often
occurrence..)
All I had to do was set the DocumentRoot to where I wanted the
index.html to be run from.
(I found it when I was deleting all of the various "test" settings,
Directory tags, Aliaes, redirects and left the DocumentRoot setting just
for grins. I then tested the site to see if the webapps were still
working but quickly tried the domain root.. what the heck.. it worked..!!!)
So.. there you go..
John...

Thanks - I assume "any way you want" would include the port?
I'll have to dive more into Filters.

Yes exactly, thanks - that is an addition to the api after the book I read :)
eclipse auto-complete and the sun website is your friend :)
*****
Part of all these questions is I am looking to implement a servlet
subclass which will "auto register" itself with an upstream front end
(maybe AJP does this?) so ideally I would want to be able to query
what URI "host,port,path" would access the proper connector and
servlet when it's "init()" is called so I can pass it to upstream to
the front-end router. Of course at this time no request has been
recieved. I guess I could do it by parsing the server.xml or putting
in rendundant per servlet initParameters but that makes me queasy, I
like the thing itself to propagate it's own state changes :)

You could configure proxyPort in your <Connector> to some value that you
could use as a flag for your particular environment. This will override
the header value returned by getServerPort(). Don't know if there would
be any undesirable side effects.

I Verified this returns the port indicated by the client in the header.
Not the port the request was recieved by at the tomcat instance.
Appropriate for a client to send and passed through by proxys,
remappers, front ends etc. but not to determine where it ends up.

ServletRequest.getServerPort() is inherited by HTTPServletRequest.

I guess a corrollary question to this would be.
Can I determine the connector port connected to for a request from
service() I don't see it in the servlet API but am willing to access
somthing tomcat specific.

On a stand alone tomcat with more than one connector (port)
Is it possible to map a servlet to only one or a subset of connectors?

By which I meant, httpd is an extraneous complication, unless you
really need to have something like PHP or other service outside of
Tomcat. Do you?
If that's the case, mod_proxy_ajp is far simpler to configure than mod_jk.
But if not, simplify your life :-)

Front-ending Tomcat with Apache is messy :-)
If you *must* use Apache for whatever reason, you'd be better off
using mod_proxy_ajp in conjunction with mod_rewrite to handle this
configuration.
FWIW,

Thank you for taking the time to explain your idea.. I actually often
do it another way.. I create another "host" for the webapp and then
place the plain domain "www.mydomain.com" as an Apache HTdocs and then
redirect to the webapp host..
Problem with this an your solution is that is it messy.. We serve a LOT
of webapps and need to keep it as simple as possible.. I will study
your idea and see if it can help me on finding a cleaner solution..
John..

Nothing wrong with redirects. They're quite appropriate to allow the
browser to properly evaluate relative links in pages without the need
for the extra gyrations you're suggesting.

Watch out for case sensitivity here; both context.xml and web.xml must
be lower-case file names.

Hi John,
Ok, I'm going to try show you how I think about this stuff... and I'm often
wrong ;)
Dont use a redirect... it goes back to the browser and its not cool.
Firstly make a servlet and have a look at the CONTEXT.XML file under
META-INF
Change it to......
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context path=""/>
Now have a look at WEB.XML under WEB-INF
make sure the mapping is
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>NewServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
OK.... now that servlet will run for any URI from the domain name up ie
www.host.com/ANYTHINGorNOTHING
You can play with the mapping if you dont want that... but let me show you
how I do this sort of stuff, and then you can tweak it as you want.
Now in the servlet make this routine
protected void displayPage(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response, String thePage)
throws ServletException, IOException {
RequestDispatcher dispatch =
request.getRequestDispatcher(thePage);
dispatch.forward(request, response);
}
Now when the servlet is called in
protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
do this
displayPage( request, response, "index.jsp");
So all of a sudden you can direct any URL to any page without redirects....
can use the API to check the URL and use a case statement whatever.
OK... heres the final trick coz it looks like you trying to run behind
Apache
put this in the servlet.xml file in Tomcat.conf
<Host name=www.site.com appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<!-- USE THIS FOR AUTO GEN OF JK MOD for Apache Forwarding to tomcat
MODIFY PATHS FOR YOUR SYSTEM-->
<Listener className="org.apache.jk.config.ApacheConfig" append="true"
forwardAll="false" modJk="D:/DEV/Apache2.2/modules/mod_jk.so"/>
</Host>
Now when you start Tomcat it will create a folder under conf/auto it puts
all the stuff apache needs in a mod_jk.file
looks like this.... but its AUTOMATICALLY generated when tomcat starts.

THEN in a apache add
# I added this for jk connector jk is auto gen by tomcat======
Include "D:/DEV/Tomcat 5.5/conf/auto/mod_jk.conf"
Apache will use Tomcat and the servlet configuaration in Tomcat..... DONE!
Now even for load balancing I remove the Apache include but still leave the
Autogeneration in tomcat because Tomcat generates the code and I can just
copy and paste.
You'll find you can do anything.... and you should be able to because its a
simple MVC model.
Now you going to tell me you have used Struts or Spring or something..... oh
well, guess you'll have to ask the framework gods.... this is so easy I
really cant understand why people use that stuff.
Hope this helps....
Good luck.
