apache - tomcat - struts: path was not found

[Martin Weber <mw...@spree.de>]

Hi !

I am using apache 1.3.12, tomcat 3.1 and struts. When using tomcat standalone and sending a request with an
URL="http://alster:80/deploy/work/login.jsp;jsessionid=To1010mC07300554567118311At" everything works fine.
If I run tomcat as a plugin of apache I get an error.
The configuration file for tomcat included at the end of the apache httpd.conf is as follows:
-------------------------- included in apache httpd.conf ------------------------
LoadModule jserv_module modules/ApacheModuleJServ.dll
ApJServManual on
ApJServDefaultProtocol ajpv12
ApJServSecretKey DISABLED
ApJServMountCopy on
ApJServLogLevel notice

ApJServDefaultPort 8007

AddType test/jsp .jsp
AddHandler jserv-servlet .jsp
AddType test/do .do
AddHandler jserv-servlet .do

Alias /deploy F:\Programs\Jakarta\jakarta-tomcat\webapps\deploy
<Directory "F:\Programs\Jakarta\jakarta-tomcat\webapps\deploy">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
ApJServMount /deploy/servlet /deploy
<Location /deploy/WEB-INF/ >
    AllowOverride None
    deny from all
</Location>

ApJServMount /servlet /ROOT
------------------------- end of include ----------------------------
AFter the include, I also added a rewrite rule to handle the session id problem, like this:
--------------- rewrite rule in apache httpd.conf--------------------

Sorry, folks, I accidentally hit the send button before finishing ...

Here is the rewrite part:

----------------------------------
include "f:\programs\jakarta\jakarta-tomcat\conf\tomcat-apache.conf"
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/ApacheModuleRewrite.dll
AddModule mod_rewrite.c

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteRule  ^(/.*;jsessionid=.*)$  $1  [T=jserv-servlet]
</IfModule>
-----------------------------------

Using this configuration, I get the following error:

Error: 400
Location: /deploy/work/login.do
Invalid path /work/login.do;jsessionid=To1010mC07300554567118311At was requested

Has anybody experienced the same problem, or did I forget some rudimentary mapping or configuration parameter?

Thanks alot, Craig,
I switched to Tomcat 3.2 and it worked immediately, even without rewrite rule.

Tomcat 3.1 has quite a few bugs, one of them being the use of URL rewriting when running behind Apache.  I
would suggest trying this with 3.2 -- you will still need the rewrite rule that you've described, so that
Apache knows what to do.
