simple tomcat problem

[Florian Boelstler <fl...@orbiz.com>]

hi,

i tried the whole weekend to solve the following problem.
searched the tomcat mailing list archives, but found nothing helpful.

we have designed a servlet which dynamically creates html pages.
these pages are static html mixed with code which does database
requests, etc.
(like php does..)

we have successfully deployed it with the resin servletrunner.
because of our actual production sytem, which uses tomcat as a must,
we have to reconfigure the whole thing.

on our server are several virtual hosts configured under apache.
each host should use tomcat as a servletrunner.

our servlet is called through the servlet mapping:
example.com/orbit/DigiFun
 which works fine at the moment.
but as a main goal it should additionally called through all html-files
which
are accessible. i.e. example.com/index.html
here is the problem, it doesn´t work like i.e. the jsp-mapping...

because of presence of other companies on that system i´ll not allowed
to
do major changes at the system.xml (like changing prefix path
/servlet/*)

my configuration at the moment:

apache "httpd.conf"

<VirtualHost 123.123.123.123>
        ServerName www.example.com
        DocumentRoot /home/orbit/digifun/www/htdocs/0999

"tomcat/conf/web.xml" left unchanged


"tomcat/conf/server.xml":
---snip---

                <Context path="" docBase="/home/orbit/" />
        </Host>
---snip---


"WEB-INF/web.xml" for all virtual hosts:

<web-app>
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>
            DigiFun
        </servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>
            DigiFun
        </servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>
            1
        </load-on-startup>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>
            DigiFun
        </servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>
            /orbit/DigiFun/*
        </url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>
            DigiFun
        </servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>
            /*.html
        </url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>
            index.html
        </welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>

</web-app>


in every host section you can see:
JkMount /*.html ajp12

i think http://demo3.example.com/index.html should run the servlet
DigiFun, right?
(but it doesn´t work:()

what files are additionally to be changed that html-files are invokers
for the "DigiFun"-servlet?

thanks for your help!

sincerely

  florian
