Tomcat and static content
Hi,
I have got a problem. I am using apache 1.3.26+tomcat 1.3.1. Is there
any way to know that apache is serving all static content like
.html/.gif/.jpeg? My virtual host (in apache) is running very slow and
images are breaking..
Please help?
Cheers

The apache access logs can tell you how long it took for a request to be
served. All requests (whether they live in tomcat or not) are served by
apache. So you'll need to check your access logs on the tomcat instance
to see if only jsp's (or servlets are showing up) are being served by
tomcat. If image requests are appearing in the tomcat logs - then tomcat
is serving images. (Meaning apache is probably forwarding all requests
to tomcat, which is inefficient)

Tomcat and static content
Posted by Kapil Sharma <ks...@wishstream.com>.
Hi,
I have got the following lines in my mod_jk.conf-auto file:
# Static files
Alias /foo "/export/home/test/u2/current/foo"
<Directory "/export/home/test/u2/current/foo">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex index.jsp index.html index.htm logon.jsp
</Directory>
1: What is the meaning of alias here. This means that apache will deal
with this alias to serve static content?
2: Where can I define Indexes? How can I get rid of directory indexing?
I have already made <StaticInterceptor listings="false" /> change in
server.xml, but still indexing is enables?

Modify your urlworkermap.properties so it serves only jsp files
Etc...

Kapil,
You could look at the apache access log. It will tell when an image has
been served. There is now way (that I know of) to configure apache to
trap all image requests that would be handled by a tomcat context. Is
that what you are trying to do? If so, your web app needs to use paths
that are not within the web app context. You can set up aliases within
httpd.conf to make it easier to link images from the web app to some
convenient path on your httpd server.
Hope this helps.

I would try these things: (Bear in mind that I am a OpenBSD user and Tomcat
beginner, so this may be completely out of range.
1. Find the problem. Go directly to Tomcat (using its network port), without
passing through the Apache server. If this is faster, the problem is on the
Apache side, if it's still slow, the problem is on the Tomcat side.
2. If the problem is on Tomcat: Are the static pages also parsed by Tomcat. It
should be possible to set some extensions as static content and send them through
the server without parsing them for JSP code etc. I think this is defined in your
web.xml file. (I *said* I'm a beginner:-)
3. Anyway, if the problem can't be fixed in Tomcat, you could set your Apache to
forward only URL:s that end in .jsp to Tomcat.
I use URL rewriting to forward any http://jsp.my.server.com/url.html url to
http://my.server.com:8080/url.html
In that case you do the same, it is easy:
Modify your your Apache httpd.conf under the virutal hosts section for the Tomcat
server:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCondition %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*\.jsp) http://your.server:8080$1
[e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l,P]
Then Authorization line is only needed if you are using logins or other features
that use HTTP authorization.
The last line is
RewriteRule ^(.*) (etcetera)
if you want to forward everything to port 8080.
You will of course need to do "LoadModule rewrite_module
/usr/lib/apache/modules/mod_rewrite.so" or similar earlier in your httpd.conf,
but that is covered elsewhere in the Apache documentation.
Good luck.
/Fredrik

[ May be I am missing something fundamental in your question. ]
Can't you just access one of your static web pages from another computer
and see what you get?
