apache Alias&Rewrites vs tomcat?
I'm trying to assertain just how Apache and Tomcat
interact regarding aliases and rewrites.
I'm using Apache 1.3.14 and tomcat 3.2.1 with
mod_jk.c. I don't know if the latter is the 'latest'
version.
If I have apache configured to apply an alias or a
rewrite rule to a reqest, I can tell from the logs
that it is indeed getting applied:
(2) init rewrite engine with requested uri
/myapp/folder1/common/mypage.jsp
(3) applying pattern '^/myapp/(.*)/common/(.*)' to
uri '/myapp/folder1/common/mypage.jsp'
(2) rewrite /myapp/folder1/common/mypage.jsp ->
/myapp/common/mypage.jsp
(2) local path result: /myapp/common/mypage.jsp
(1) go-ahead with /myapp/common/mypage.jsp [OK]
The idea here is simple: the request
/myapp/folder1/common/mypage.jsp
should result in a request for
/myapp/common/mypage.jsp
The rewrite rule works great. This works great for
static stuff served up by Apache.
The problem is that Tomcat is not getting the
translated request, it is getting the original one.
Since no file in that path actually exists, naturally
it returns a file not found error.
Could someone please tell me if this behavior is
correct or if this is a bug in mod_jk? Should I be
using apj13? (I just noticed that the mod_jk.conf-auto
has the contexts mounted to apj12 so I'll try changing
that).
I seem to recall that JServ obeyed the results of
rewrites. Should I try using tomcat with mod_jserv?
'Would seem like walking backwards...
Please help clear this up so I don't spend too much
more time banging my head against this.
Thanks,
Mel

Ya know, I'm almost 100% positive I tried this before
to no affect, but being in a mad dash to fix things, I
may spoiled that test by simultaneously changing
something else. At any rate, with mod_jk loaded
before mod_rewrite (in my case, I am able to simply
perform the include of mod_jk.conf-auto before I do
any rewrites) it seems to work. I also had a stupid
syntax error in my rewrite expression so maybe that
was it.
Amazin' how much time one can spend fixin' somethin'
that ain't broke...

It is my (and others) experience that mod_jk has to be loaded BEFORE
mod_rewrite for it to act responsibly. In your case the mod_rewrite is
linked statically, i.e., loaded before mod_jk. I would suggest to
make both mod_jk and mod_rewrite DSO, and load/add module mod_jk before
mod_rewrite. Remember to comment out the
# LoadModule jk_module libexec/mod_jk.so
in mod_jk.conf

Well, actually, I've twice posted detailed
descriptions of what I'm trying to accomplish on this
topic and gotten zero replies, but here goes another
attempt...
I'm using Apache 1.3.14 and tomcat 3.2.1 with
mod_jk.c. I don't know if the latter is the 'latest'
version of mod_jk.c - I grabbed it from the tomcat
download site two weeks ago. I am running this on
WinNT using downloaded binary versions of the relevant
software.
I have setup my application ("myapp") as a directory
inside the webapps/ directory, complete with WEB-INF
subdirectory and such.
I have apache configured to apply an alias or a
rewrite rule to a reqest:
#--------------
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
LoadModule rewrite_module
n:/opt/local/apache/modules/ApacheModuleRewrite.dll
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog log/apache_logs/rewrites.log
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteOptions inherit
RewriteRule ^/myapp/(.*)/common/(.*) /myapp/common/$2
#-------------
I can tell from the rewrites.log that it is indeed
getting applied:
(2) init rewrite engine with requested uri
/myapp/folder1/common/mypage.jsp
(3) applying pattern '^/myapp/(.*)/common/(.*)' to
uri '/myapp/folder1/common/mypage.jsp'
(2) rewrite /myapp/folder1/common/mypage.jsp ->
/myapp/common/mypage.jsp
(2) local path result: /myapp/common/mypage.jsp
(1) go-ahead with /myapp/common/mypage.jsp [OK]
The idea here is simple: the request
/myapp/folder1/common/mypage.jsp
should result in a request for
/myapp/common/mypage.jsp
The rewrite rule works great. This works great for
static stuff (i.e. html) served up by Apache.
The *problem* is that Tomcat is not getting the
translated request, it is getting the original one:
/myapp/folder1/common/mypage.jsp
Since no file in that path actually exists, naturally
it returns a file not found error. Tomcat DOES
happily find, compile and execute requests for
servlets and jsp pages that are in paths that do exist
such as
/myapp/folder1/myother.jsp
I have apache configured to send requests to tomcat
via ajp13 by including mod_jk.conf-auto just after the
above rewrite rule:
# include configuration for tomcat servlet engine:
#
Include n:/opt/demo/conf/mod_jk.conf-auto
#
I've configured server.xml very minimally, no custom
contexts or anything. About the only thing changed
here is I've enabled ajp13 and then setup
workers.properties to map requests to it. I doubt any
of this is relevant because I see the exact same
behavior even with 'raw' server.xml and
worker.properties files.
Note that I get the same behavior if I use an Alias
instead of a rewrite:
#--------------
Alias (.*)/myapp/(.*)/common/(.*) $1/myapp/common/$3
#--------------
This rewrites static requests served by Apache, but
just like with rewrites, gets ignored by tomcat.
That's pretty much it.
Any suggestions as to what is (or is not) going on?
Basically, what I want to happen is that, after a
rewrite rule has been applied, that Tomcat should be
processing the modified URL, not the original.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Mel

tell us what you are trying to do and send us some sample config files and
how your environment is setup. is becomes much easier than to answer the
question above, because alias works very well for me :)

I'll try the changes you suggested.
Now, if I could just get someone to tell me why apache

Re: ajp12 vs ajp13 & mod_jk.conf-auto
Posted by Filip Hanik <fi...@filip.net>.
yes,
the JkMount command looks like this
JkMount context workername
so the autogenerated ajp12 is just the worker name "ajp12"
in the workers.properties file you can change the protocol that the worker
is using.
the property file has the following format
worker.<workername>.<propertyname>=<value>
worker.ajp12.port=8007
worker.ajp12.host=localhost
worker.ajp12.type=ajp13
so just change the last line to use ajp13. now you have to modify server.xml
to start a ajp13 connector on the port 8007 and change the port for ajp12.
the nice thing with the autogenerated file is that your webapps can be
dynamic.
but if you need to do a lot of fancy stuff, you should create your own file
for the mod_jk configuration.
try playing around with it, and if you have a specific problem let me know
and I can help you out.

ajp12 vs ajp13 & mod_jk.conf-auto
Posted by Mel Martinez <me...@yahoo.com>.
Question:
what determines whether ajp12 or ajp13 will be
specified for a jkmount statement in the
auto-generated mod_jk.conf-auto file?
I.E., it always generates statements like:
JkMount /myapp/servlet/* ajp12
JkMount /myapp/*.jsp ajp12
I've even tried disabling all reference to ajp12 from
server.xml and workers.properties but that had no
effect.
Is the only way to force the use of Ajp13 to manually
edit the mod_jk.conf file?
Should I even be worrying about this?
Thanks,
mel
