how to get "dir-name/" to point to "dir-name/index.html"
I have the following rather inefficient code in my sitemap-I'm sure it can be
simplified, but I don't know how. First of all, how do you get "dir-name/" to
redirect or point to "dir-name/index.html" (using either Cocoon or Tomcat),
and how do you get "dir-name" to redirect to "dir-name/". The following is how
I'm doing it right now:
<map:match pattern="dir-name">
<map:redirect-to uri=" dir-name/"/>
</map:match>
<map:match pattern="dir-name/">
<map:generate/>
<map:transform/>
<map:serialize/>
</map:match>
<map:match pattern="dir-name/*.html">
<map:generate/>
<map:transform/>
<map:serialize/>
</map:match>
<map:match pattern="dir-name/sub-dir">
<map:redirect-to uri="dir-name/sub-dir/"/>
</map:match>
<map:match pattern="dir-name/sub-dir/">
<map:generate"/>
<map:transform/>
<map:serialize/>
</map:match>
<map:match pattern="dir-name/sub-dir/*.html">
<map:generate/>
<map:transform/>
<map:serialize/>
</map:match>
There has to be a better way... how do I fix that? Thanks...

mod-rewrite troubles (formerly RE: how to get "dir-name/" to point to "dir-name/index.html")
Posted by Liam Morley <lm...@WPI.EDU>.
Nikola,
Thank you very much for your help thus far- that was a great assistance.
I'm currently having some troubles with mod_rewrite. It seems that when
I try the following:
RewriteRule mydir/(.*) cocoon/mydir/$1 [PT]
I get a "HTTP 400 - Bad Request" response after trying to access
http://localhost/mydir/. If I try http://localhost/mydi/ instead, I get
the proper HTTP 404. Could anybody shed some light on this?
Also, Nikola, you said that "If they are not real directories - then you
should just write a regexp that looks for that pattern ^(.+[^/])$ except
explicitly say what the directory is." Do you mean something like this:
RewriteRule mydir$ mydir/ [R]
RewriteRule mydir/subdir1$ mydir/subdir1/ [R]
RewriteRule mydir/subdir2$ mydir/subdir2/ [R]
Or perhaps something like:
RewriteRule ^(.+[^(?:\.html)])$ $1/ [R]
What I was trying to say there (and I hope it came out right) is that
anything that doesn't end with ".html" will be redirected to include a
slash after it. Would that work, do you think? Again this is all
hypothetical at the moment as I'm still getting "HTTP 400 - Bad Request"
messages. The Rewrite log does seem to indicate the request is being
handled correctly and that the correct message is being passed
afterwards (at least, I think so)...
Thanks again, you've been an incredible help.

If you are using apache, then you can use mod-rewrite to redirect to
the apache. The trick is in the apache config file. Use something
like the following:
Remember that the pattern match can be anything - not even a real
directory so you will have to play some tricks. My example follows:
As described on http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/rewriteguide.html
You can have the server automatically check to see if the directory
exists, then add trailing slash which will get caught by the
mod_jserv or the current
# this tells apache to redirect (httpd.conf)
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/dir-name$ /dir-name/index.html [R]
# this tells apache to send the request to ajp13 (httpd.conf)
JkMount /dir-name/ ajp13
# sitemap.xconf - now you only need to the original - faster
# and better
<map:match patter="dir-name/">
<map>...
</map:match>
If you follow a pattern (and if all of these are all directories), then you
could create a generic rewrite in the apache engine like this
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$ $1/ [R]
If they are not real directories - then you should just write a
regexp that looks for that pattern ^(.+[^/])$ except explicitly say
what the directory is.
You just need the addition to the sitemap.conf and your jkmounts. The
answer to your problems (of performance) can all be solved with
apache faster than using tomcat.
hope this helps some,
nik
