           Summary: JkOptions +ForwardDirectories with Apache's
                    DirectoryIndex
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.5.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: regression
          Priority: P2
         Component: Native:JK
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: giampaolo@tomassoni.biz


In apache-2.0.58 + apr-0.9.12 + mod_jk-1.1.20 + JBoss-4.0.5.GA (Tomcat 5.5), 
when a Tomcat webapp is published through an apache vhost and:

- both JkOptions +ForwardDirectories and DirectoryIndex are specified;
- Apache can't stat() the specified index file, since it is expected to be 
handled virtually by Tomcat (i.e.: it is "index.jsf" like in Java ServletFaces 
applications);

then issuing a request on a directory entry to Apache (like, in example, 
http://www.domain.tld/) would not redirect the client to request the 
DirectoryIndex-specified resource (i.e. http://www.domain.tld/index.jsf) but 
would instead forward it up to Tomcat as-is.

This results in displaing the directory content (or a 404 error), instead of 
the wanted index virtual file.

Please note that up to mod_jk-1.1.19 the behaviour I was seing was the 
expected one: the client was redirected to request the virtual index resource 
regardless of the existance of such a file in the directory published by 
Apache.

Both behaviours are valid use cases. It should be possible to get mod_jk to
handle both correctly but it might take someone with more mod_jk expertise than
I to do it.

No progress, and I must say for a zillion of times:

Do not map your web application physically to the Apache document tree.
It is a *BIG* security hole and it breaks all the Servlet specifications.

Default application (directory) welcome file *MUST* be decided by
configuring the application itself trough the web.xml

I'm not interested of fixing this, and I would suggest that if it doesn't
work for you, configure it like it is supposed to be configured.

If some commiter is willing to fix that, fine with me, but like said,
it's a complete waste of time and specifications.

Regards.

This seems very similar to an issue I am having with JK 1.2.21.
a request for 
http://www.domain.tld/
returns the tomcat ROOT webapp index.jsp but I haven't a JkMount for the root
context.

in my httpd.conf, I have a 
DirectoryIndex /myapp/homepage.html
and
JkMount /myapp/* server1

The problem goes away when I revert back to 1.2.18 mod_jk.so.  Issue not in
1.2.19, introduced in 1.2.20

note: the local links in the ROOT webapp index.jsp do not work (as expected)
because that context is not mapped using modjk - yet that index.jsp is still served.

Your "might be" is definitely right, Mark: that single-line change does 
matter...

Reversing the patch to 1.1.20 restores mod_jk's previous behaviour.

I don't completely get the matter of bug 36121. Do you think the two 
behaviours may be made somehow compatible in 1.1.21, or instead enforcing one 
would mean voiding the other?

I would like to be prepared to the next mod_jk release...

How can I get that single patch? I would attempt rolling it back in my mod_jk-
1.1.20 and test if this is the cause, but it is not attached to 
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36121.

Yes, but it doesn't work: I can't get the auto-index working. It doesn't work 
even by connecting to the Tomcat's default http service port (8080), thereby 
by-passing the JK Connector.

Please note I'm using jsf + facelets + seam + jboss, so, probably one of these 
components doesn't behave as expected with <welcome-file-list>. The fact is 
that I found a great solution to this in mod_jk and I'm actually depending on 
this. I could eventually backup implementing a <filter>, but this would at 
least mean that something is wrong in the JK docs regarding 
+ForwardDirectories + DirectoryIndex.

About your patch. I just got back home and I'm going to roll it back from my 
copy of mod_jk-1.1.20. I'll tell you soon.

I used DirectoryIndex to allow Apache to send directory requests to my Struts
/index.do.  This worked well.  You don't appear to be able to use anything but a
file in welcome-file-list, so I'm not seeing a simple way of fixing this to work
in mod_jk 1.2.20+ - I'd prefer to avoid rewrite rules, files that redirect to my
welcome action, etc. 

Please let me know if I'm missing something obvious.

A palatable hack for me was to touch index.do in my app. It's not pretty, but it
beats creating a JSP for my welcome-file-list to just redirect to a struts app.
