JK2 Connections from Apache2 URL Rewriting
I have been reading through
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jk2/ and other sources
via google trying to work out the best way of mapping live URLs to
specific webapps. e.g.
Map www.mydomain.com/myshortcut -> www.domain.com/mywebapp/subpath/url
My environment is Apache2 mod_jk2 and Tomcat 5.
So far I have implemented it using mod_proxy in apache as
RewriteRule ^/myshortcut(.*)
http://www.domain.com/mywebapp/subpath/url$1 [P]
However I don't feel that this a clean solution. Does Tomcat5 or JK2
support some form of URI mapping / aliasing? e.g. Resin has an alias
directive.
Thanks in advance,
Peter

Thanks for the reply but they are referring to a Host Name Alias not a
URI alias. i.e. www.company.com == company.com (to steal their example)
I require /bar == /foo/bar.
I don't believe that mod_alias will work because it operates in a
similar fashion to symlinks in *nix. It creates a virtual path to
something outside the standard directory structure.

Hey, Tomcat does support alias! take a look at the Host element:).
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/host.html
Can you use apache mod_alias directive instead of the mod_proxy directive?
