Catalina mod_webapp path=""

[Manri Offermann <ma...@manri.com>]

Hi all,

I am trying to find some informtation (without success :( ...) on how to do
the equivalent of:

mod_jk & Tomcat3.2 & Apache
--------------------------- server.xml
<Host name=www.xyz.com>
    <Context path="" docBase="/home/me/www" reloadable="true" debug="0"/>
</Host>
--------------------------- httpd.conf
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>
    ServerName www.xyz.com
    DocumentRoot /home/me/www
    JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
    JkMount /servlet/* ajp13
    <Location /WEB-INF/ >
        AllowOverride None
        deny from all
    </Location>
</VirtualHost>
---------------------------

with mod_webapp+Tomcat4+Apache.

Documentations I have found only explain how to deploy a webapp with
Tomcat4+Apache in a subdirectory (http://xyz.com/webapp/somefile.jsp). What
I want to do is deploy a webapp in the "root directory" so that the URL
turns out to be http://xyz.com/somefile.jsp. Does anybody have a clue on how
to do that? In another ML someone has stated, that I could use mod_jk. I
tried configuring mod_jk with Tomcat4 without success. Using mod_jk is not
really what I want to do since my understanding is that mod_jk is already
dead(?)! with Tomcat4.


Any help is welcome!

Don't put anything in your server.xml (use the default supplied)...

In httpd.conf put something like:

WebAppConnection .......
WebAppDeploy .......

As described by INSTALL.txt coming with every WebApp module distribution.
