Tomcat: Options for installing HTML "close" to classes?
I have Apache & Tomcat running on my NT workstation. I put a servlet
class into "$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes". I'm able to
execute it fine from the container.
I also have an HTML file that tries to reference that servlet. I was
able to put the HTML file into the "$APACHE_HOME/htdocs" directory,
but that seems sort of "far away" from the servlet class. I can't
figure out where, if at all, the HTML file can go into the
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps hierarchy so it will work. Is it
feasible/practical to do this?
I believe that building a WAR file would probably work, but I'm trying
to start simple.

It's working fine now (although I haven't tried any jsp pages yet).
I store the files in the same place, but Apache gets !(servlet|jsp)
and tomcat gets everything else. I'm currently using 3.1, but I'll
upgrade to 3.2bx in a little while. I imagine that "test/jsp" thing
would probably cause a problem...

This should be text/jsp. Are you using Tomcat 3.1? You'll want to use
3.2b2.

This is really the only one that pertains to your setup (and that
DocumentRoot we talked about before). That's really all you need. You
should have some <Directory> and <Location> directives to protect the files
and indices, but to just "get it running" that's all you need.

Ah, so all the files are in the same place, but apache serves the html
files, and tomcat serves everything else. Ok. I was trying to find
documentation on the "Connector" tag, and I didn't see anything. This
helps.

Should be d:/path/to/tomcat/webapps/ROOT. So that Apache will serve your
static files. You have no JServ or Jk setup in your httpd.conf, which are
entirely necessary to get the two to cooperate.

Well, for a first example, just as I said, as
"http://<hostname>/<htmlfile>".
However, after sleeping on this, I was thinking I was misguided in my
approach, and now I'm not sure anymore. After I left work last night,
I seemed to remember that the point of running BOTH apache and tomcat
was to have apache serve HTML files, and tomcat to handle servlets and
jsp. If both of them are running, does it make sense to put HTML
files into tomcat/webapps, and will it even work? Perhaps it makes
more sense just to run tomcat standalone?
In any case, I'll include my "server.xml" here, and the
uncommented/nonblank lines of "httpd.conf" (since I don't know what
the "pertinent" sections would be exactly).

That all depends on your Apache/Tomcat setup. Could you paste the pertinent
section(s) of your server.xml and httpd.conf?
How would you like it to be accessed?

Ok, and how exactly do you specify a URL to reference that? I would
have guessed "http://localhost/<file>", but that doesn't work. From
the logs, it doesn't appear as if Tomcat is even getting the request
for the file. It is handled (and failed) solely by Apache.
