Apache & Tomcat & Cocoon - Optimizing the directory structure /links/references

[Eduardo Zurita <g0...@correo.cajacanarias.es>]

Hello again,

    I am testing my site. I have installed Apache to serve static content. I have some JSP pages I use standalone or in generators in Cocoon. And I have of course, some translators.

    Well after some few tests, I see all is running OK. But, before continue developing the site, I want discuss how to contruct the directory structure. My site can become a large one, and I would like things are well done from beggining.

    I would like Apache does the work of serving static content, but in my XSL (cocoon) I do references to, for example, "/images/button.gif". Of course, this doesn't work, because the "/images" directory is under the Apache root directory, not Cocoon nor Tomcat root directory. I have think about this and can create a common directory structure for the three (Apache, Tomcat, Cocoon) or I configure some URIs in workers2.properties to match different file/directory types. But, I think then I have to use complete URLs in all the pages to help Apache to do his work correctly (to apply the configuration in workers2.properties).

    I need some orientation or other people experiences about this.

    Sure there is a lot of people with same needs.

    Thanks in advance!!!

    Eduardo.
