Windows 98 install of Tomcat + Apache 1.3.9
Should I even bother pursuing the above configuration?
I have apache 1.3.9 and jserv 1.1b3 running fine,
but following the TOMCAT+APACHE HOWTO gets me nowhere.
I was thinking the configuration of such would be close
to the jserv configuration, but I guess not. I see the
tomcat.conf file, but no way to set claspaths,zones,etc...
Is there anymore documentation anywhere?

Speaking of contexts:
> Set zones (aka contexts) by following the FAQ
I had thought I'd be able to create a different context for different virtual
hosts. Then, I would be able to mount specific contexts within VirtualHost
blocks in the Apache config files. The goal, of course, that I could
essentially create contexts that worked only within its virtual host,
transparently adding JSP support to existing sites.
I then wanted to try mounting the context at the root of the virtual host. So,
for a given web site, I might have:
<VirtualHost www.foo.com>
ApJservMount / /foocontext
</VirtualHost>
None of this works. I clearly don't understand contexts completely, or the
ApJservMount keywords. But, I also suspect that this is simply beyond Tomcat's
capabilities at this time.
Worse, it seems that trying to mount contexts in this way actually "breaks"
existing web sites. I haven't been able to add JSP support to different virtual
hosts without actually changing the web site pages (i.e.: introducing a
top-level "/foo_jsp" directory, a different one for each virtual host, or
something like this).
Any comments or suggestions?

Hmmm...I guess this is where I am a bit confused.
How do the env.tomcat or tomcat.sh affect the running
of Tomcat with Apache? I assumed those would
be for the stand-alone wrapper.
I have all i need with jserv 1.1b3, I just wanted to
start getting into the Tomcat install.
I recently cleaned out my messages. Could some repost
or email me those howto's? Thanks in advance...

They're not even remotely similar. How I did it:
Set classpaths by editing env.tomcat and/or tomcat.sh
Set zones (aka contexts) by following the FAQ
Set logfiles by editing your servlet's init method
>Is there anymore documentation anywhere?
There were a couple of howtos posted to this list earlier that were better.
