Thanks!!! For my purposes at this point, I can stick with the "test" root
directory, so your answer solves my problem. I read all about doing what
you described below, in the docs online, but somehow they didn't make any
sense at all, and you did. Thanks a bunch!

How to get a new JVM per context?
Posted by "Michael H. La Budde" <mh...@prsft.com>.
When using Tomcat in stand-alone mode I would like to be able to configure
it to startup a new JVM for each context. Is this possible? (And how do I
do it?)
I'm not sure I fully understood the Tomcat Workers HowTo, but it seemed that
1) it was for the Apache (or your favorite webserver) + Tomcat scenario and
2) it allows you to spread the load among multiple machines/tomcat
instances but not specify which contexts use which worker(s) ...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
Re: Servlet configuration
Posted by Jacob Kjome <ja...@syntegra.com>.
Well, actually, I have apache web server 1.3.12 installed and am visiting
my servlets through the default port 80 for apache rather than 8080 and all
my servlets work exactly the same whether I go to either port. I can refer
to them in the same way base on how I aliased them in the web.xml. So, I
am integrating Apache web server and Tomcat.
You are right to wonder about the tomcat.conf file -vs-the
tomcat-apache.conf file. I found that I needed a file that was separate
from the automatically generated one to add my own stuff to it and not have
it erased each time Tomcat was restarted. I include the tomcat.conf file
in Apache's httpd.conf and all works well.
Arrrgggghhhh..... forgot to mention something.... this might clear things up.
I had found a bug and fixed it to for my needs, but then forgot that I made
that change and now confused this whole issue. However, it still does not
require the use of <LocationMatch>. Read on...
When I moved from using Tomcat 3.1 to using Tomcat 3.2 b3, I switched from
using ApacheModuleJServ to using mod_jk.
an automatically generated config file is created when Tomcat is started:
mod_jk.conf-auto (this file serves the same purpose as tomcat-apache.conf
did when using ApacheModuleJServ)
There is another file called mod_jk.conf (this file serves the same purpose
as the tomat.conf did when using ApacheModuleJServ)
I found that my aliases in the web.xml for each app were not being
recognized when using tomcat through apache web server.
I found I had to add new JkMounts manually for any alias I wanted
recognized by apache.
For instance, here is what Tomcat, by default, writes out in the
mod_jk.conf-auto file for a context called "jakefirst":
JkMount /jakefirst/servlet/* ajp12
JkMount /jakefirst/*.jsp ajp12
However, I had a couple of servlet aliases that needed to be read. I
solved this by taking everything that the mod_jk.conf-auto had in it and
copied it over to the mod_jk.conf. Then, added two more entries into the
mod_jk.conf file:
JkMount /jakefirst/jakehello ajp12
JkMount /jakefirst/secondinstance ajp12
I included the mod_jk.conf file rather than mod_jk.conf-auto in my
httpd.conf. Now, Tomcat + Apache web server recognized my aliases that
were set in the web.xml file.
Again, all this was done without the use of <LocationMatch>.
So, where does this leave us? I think it leaves us with a couple questions:
1. Is <LocationMatch> only useful for the old JServ module or is it just
an alternative to using JkMount????
2. Why isn't each webapp context's web.xml not being read and having
servlet mappings translated automagically into JkMount entries????
There are two issues related to this one:
a. By using the mod_jk.conf rather than the automatically
generated mod_jk.conf-auto, you have to remember to update the static file
with new stuff if you add any new contexts to Tomcat.
b. In addition, you need to duplicate efforts where EVERY time
you add a new alias to ANY web.xml in ANY context, you will need to
manually add JkMount entry in your mod_jk.conf in order for
Apache to read your aliases!
I detailed this here:
http://archives2.real-time.com/pipermail/tomcat-users/2000-September/009686.html
Also, take a look at messages containing the subject:
"Tomcat not reading Context's web.xml"
Also, as far as your comment "We also differ in that my goal was to shorten
the path, not lengthen it", I am shortening it.
Instead of:
http://localhost/mycontext/servlet/com.a.b.c.d.e.SomeServlet
I put:
JkMount /mycontext/someservlet ajp12
into my mod_jk.conf and I can use:
http://localhost/mycontext/someservlet
That looks like shortening to me?
Also, I don't dispute the use of Model2 architecture.
Does that clear things up? Any comments? Actually, if nothing else, I
would like to know what your opinion on this whole mod_jk.conf-auto not
reflecting each context's web.xml.
Thanks,
Jake

Re: Servlet configuration
Posted by "Kenneth R. Kress" <kk...@home.com>.
Jake,
I'm glad you have something that works. The LocationMatch
directive tells Apache to direct a particular url-pattern
to a servlet instead of an html file. If you use port 8080 or run
tomcat-jakarta stand-alone, the url-pattern directive is sufficient. But
if you integrate Apache and Jakarta, you need the LocationMatch
directive -- as far as I know.
Are you using Apache? When you say, "you just need to provide
something like the following to your tomcat.conf file", I begin
to suspect that you are not integrating Apache and Tomcat.
Tomcat generates a file called tomcat-apache.conf each
time it is started. Unless you are doing your own thing, you
should consider using the tomcat-apache.conf file. It permits
Apache to handle html files and tomcat to handle jsps and servlets.
This is discussed in "Setting Tomcat to Cooperate with the Apache Web Server"
in $TOMCAT_HOME/doc/uguide/tomcat_ug.html.
I found the url-pattern only worked when I came to
the pages through jakarta-tomcat's port 8080. When I came
through Apache, I got page not found errors. The solution
to that problem was to use LocationMatch.
The reason I needed aliasing may be quite different from
from your reasons. And perhaps that explains why you may
be satisfied setting the context path, while I need more
flexibility. We also differ in that my goal was to shorten the path,
not lengthen it.
The aliasing discussed on JGuru is useful for a Model 2 architecture
where *ALL* requests to a context are first sent to a dispatching servlet.
That servlet looks at the pathinfo() and then re-directs the request
to the appropriate page or servlet. This centralized approach
has benefits for security, logging, and dynamic reconfiguration
of paths. It also permits you to hide the implementation details --
you can use cgi-bin instead of servlet, you can end your files
with .pl instead of .jsp, and so on.

Re: Servlet configuration
Posted by Jacob Kjome <ja...@syntegra.com>.
Hmmm... I'm a bit confused here.
My example covers the first one you mention. It does go into a little more
detail with using the getPathInfo() method but, for the most part, it is
exactly what my example said.
On the second one, I'm not sure I see where the problem is. It says to add
the following to tomcat.conf or tomcat-apache.conf to support servlet
aliasing between Apache+Tomcat:
<LocationMatch /myApp/jsp-bin/* >
SetHandler jserv-servlet
</LocationMatch>
However, I have this working quite nicely without doing that at all. It
think that is a Jserv ONLY issue. With Tomcat, you just need to provide
something like the following to your tomcat.conf file:
Alias /examples "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Jakarta/tomcat/webapps/examples"
<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Jakarta/tomcat/webapps/examples">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
ApJServMount /examples/servlet /examples
<Location "/examples/WEB-INF/">
AllowOverride None
deny from all
</Location>
<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache
Group/Jakarta/tomcat/webapps/examples/WEB-INF/">
AllowOverride None
deny from all
</Directory>
<Location "/examples/META-INF/">
AllowOverride None
deny from all
</Location>
<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache
Group/Jakarta/tomcat/webapps/examples/META-INF/">
AllowOverride None
deny from all
</Directory>
In this case, all your aliasing that you have done in your web.xml will
work just fine through apache.
Am I missing something? Why would I want to use <LocationMatch>????

Haven't tested this, but you should be able to do add a context like this :
<Context path="/here/here-too/oh-ya-and-even-here" docBase="webapps/test"
debug="0" reloadable="true" >
</Context>
Seems like it should work

There are two Q&As on JGuru, which address the issue of
aliasing.
Check out:
How do I use servlet aliasing, so the URL
"http://foo.com/mywebapp/servlet/a.b.c.MyServlet" can become
"http://foo.com/mywebapp/Thingy"?
