how to deploy default context

[Jeff Ramin <ra...@berbee.com>]

I'm trying to use Apache to serve the default Tomcat
Context, and can't figure out how to make it work.

I've compiled mod_webapp, and successfully configured
Apache to talk to Tomcat via config statements like
this:

   WebAppConnection warpConnection warp puffy:8008
   WebAppDeploy examples warpConnection /examples/

These statements let me get at the examples webapp that
comes with Tomcat.

I want to replace the default context w/ my own application,
as all the links are set up as the default (ie.  I need to
be able to access it via localhost/index.jsp and not
localhost/<webapp name>/index.jsp).

>From reading the docs, my only guess at the correct
Apache directive would be this:

   WebAppDeploy "" warpConnection /

But apachectl configtest says that's not valid.

Suggestions?  This is Apache 1.3.7 and Tomcat 4.0.1
on Redhat 6.2.

Thanks.

If you deploy your app in the root context and use mod_webapp aren't you
effectively going to be sending every request to Tomcat? f that's the
case you aren't going to be able to take advantage of Apache's ability to
serve static content. I recently had the same issue and ended up using
mod_jk instead of mod_webapp because it allows you to specify url
patterns to send to Tomcat and have Apache handle the static stuff (like
images).
Hope that helps
