Connecting Tomcat 4.1.12 with Apache 1.3
Hi all,
I am fairly new to using Apache / Tomcat. I currently have my website set up
in Apache, running in the /var/html directory. I have installed Tomcat
because I have a form page (HTML) that I want to run a servlet with to
process a credit card payment with an outside payment processor. I have seen
some instances that people have stated I have to do some special
configuration in order to use both Apache and Tomcat together. Is this so?
If so, then are there any good resources for this?
Perhaps using JSP for the form will be better because I want a custom page
to display depending on what error message will come back from the payment
engine. If that is the case then wouldn't I need the connection between
Apache and Tomcat? (the images I will need for the JSP page is stored in
apache web directory as well). Is this the mod_jk plug in? (I am running
RedHat Linux 7.3)
Thanks in advance!

BTW, the configuration lines that go in httpd.conf for webapp are
entirely different than what is required for mod_jk. They serve the
same function, but they are entirely different connectors. It will take
some reading to make the transition.

Denise:
I have just got my Apache 1.3.27/Tomcat 4.1.12 connection to work.
Answers to your questions are yes, and yes. You need a connector
between them, and mod_jk.so is one such connector.
However, I had a devil of a time locating any connector on the
apache.org website, and I never was able to make mod_jk work (I tried
using the version that did work with my Tomcat 3.2 installation, but it
did not work with 4.1 and I was not able to locate mod_jk---any
version---on the apache website in order to rebuild).
I ended up using mod_webapp.so, which is another connector.
It's located in the jakarta-tomcat-connectors-4.1.12-src.tar.gz, which
you can download from
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.1.12/src/
(the same directory as tomcat itself).
When you unpack it, look for README.txt in the webapp directory. It will
tell you how to build the connector from CVS. Follow the directions in
the readme. They're clear, straightforward, and the build process was
smooth and routine, for me at least.
