browsing cocoon and tomcat directly

[Mustafa Yalniz <ya...@bumed.org.tr>]

Hi All,

We have a web site http://www.mysite.com/ and it is redirected by Apache
to
http://www.mysite.com:8080/cocoon/myweb
<http://www.mysite.com:8080/cocoon/starportal>  because we defined a
virtual
host with redirection to this address.

But we could not find a way to avoid users accessing directly
http://www.mysite.com:8080/cocoon/ or http://www.mysite.com:8080/ which
ends
up with cocoon or tomcat welcome page.

We want to avoid users to browse these URL's. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thank you and regards,
Mustafa

You could also check out
http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=ApacheModProxy which describes how
to use Cocoon with Apache's mod_proxy.  I've used it to a considerable
degree of success. And it's very easy to get working.

If you are using HTTP redirects, this is not going to work.  A redirect 
instructs the client browser to go the the target address.

Perhaps you should look into mod_jk or mod_jk2

The advice you received to look into mod proxy or mod jk
is better, but the direct answer to your question is
for you to remove the cocoon built-in matches from the
root sitemap, and get rid of (by moving, renaming or
simply disabling) the ROOT webapp that ships with
tomcat.

Don't just remove the welcome pages - I'd remove all
samples and documentation from both as well.  Also,
be sure to go through the cocoon configuration in
web.xml and cocoon.xconf and modify any default options,
removing capabilities you don't want on your live site.
