Masking JSP URL

[John Lindley <jl...@yahoo.com>]

Hi all, I have what seems to be a straighforward need, but I have not yet been able to accomplish
it. I am running Apache 2.0.52, Tomcat 5.0.28, mod_jk2, on Windows Server 2003.  Everything seems
to be running fine, but I want to be able to hide, mask, map, whatever, the URL to the jsp pages.
Here is my workers2.properties file: 

Code: 

[shm] 
info=Scoreboard. Requried for reconfiguration and status with multiprocess servers. 
file=anon 

# Defines a load balancer named lb. Use even if you only have one machine. 
[lb:lb] 

# Example socket channel, override port and host. 
[channel.socket:localhost:8009] 
port=8009 
host=127.0.0.1 

# define the worker 
[ajp13:localhost:8009] 
channel=channel.socket:localhost:8009 
group=lb 

# Map the Tomcat webapp to the Web server uri space 
[uri:/appname/*] 
group=lb 

[status:] 
info=Status worker, displays runtime information 

[uri:/jkstatus/*] 
info=The Tomcat /jkstatus handler 
group=status: 
 


I setup an alias in the httpd.conf file: 

Code: 

Alias /standalone/ "D:/Program Files/Apache
Group/Tomcat5.0.28/webapps/appname/jsp/usr/standalone/" 

<Directory "D:/Program Files/Apache Group/Tomcat5.0.28/webapps/appname/jsp/usr/standalone"> 
    Options Indexes MultiViews 
    AllowOverride None 
    Order allow,deny 
    Allow from all 
</Directory> 
 


So, if I enter http: //ipaddress/appname/jsp/usr/standalone/file.jsp, the file loads and is
properly passed to Tomcat. 

If I enter http: //ipaddress/standalone/file.jsp, the file loads but is not passed to Tomcat. 

I don't want my users seeing the long, ugly URL. What is the best/easiest way to accomplish this?
Any help is greatly appreciated! 

John
