Configuring personal webapp directories

["Perlman, Seth" <sp...@proxicom.com>]

I'd like to configure Tomcat to have a web application directory for each
user on my Web server (it's a box set up for educational purposes), but not
have to modify server.xml every time a new user is created. Much like
~username maps to /home/username/public_html, I'd like to have something
like /app/username map to /home/username/webapp, such that
/app/username/servlet/HelloWorld will execute username's HelloWorld servlet
located in /home/username/webapp/WEB-INF/classes.

Is such a configuration possible, and if so, could someone provide some
instruction?

Thanks,
seth

Thanks for your response, but this exactly what I did. I can access my
servlet through the port 8080 but not through apache (80). here is how my
tomcat-apache.conf looks alike:

thanks again...

Re: Running servlets through apache

[Mark Balster <ma...@hotmail.com>]

1) Setup a new context per TOMCAT_HOME/doc/faq "How can I install a new
web-application"
2) Modify TOMCAT_HOME/conf/tomcat.conf and add a APJServMount entry there
3) Make sure you followed instructions in
TOMCAT_HOME/doc/Tomcat+Apache-HOWTO
4) Restart Tomcat
5) Restart Apache

Running servlets through apache

[Michael Kostadinovich <ko...@intelligencia.com>]

Hi there...

I installed tomcat 3.1 with apache 1.3.12. everything works well (jsp,
servlets on port 8080 etc). My question: is it possible to run servlets
directly through apache instead of using the tomcat http-server on port
8080? how can I tell apache to map servlet requests to tomcat?

thanks in advance...
