Apache-tomcat context mapping

Hi,

Here is my problem.

In apache's config file I should be able to map 2 different URI's to one 
context in my Tomcat.
something like

APJServMount 	/examples/servlet	apjv12://dev:8080/examples
APJServMount	/examples1/servlet	apjv12://dev:8080/examples

so that any requests coming in with examples/servlet or /examples1/servlet 
should go to the same context examples

I can have another context examples1 in my Tomcat whose docbase is also 
same as examples. But If I do that the
servlets are getting initialized twice (which doesn't work for me)

Any idea, how to do it?

I am running Apache 1.3.14 (with mod_jserv) talking to tomcat 3.2 on Sun 
solaris.

Thanks...Shanti

I'm no apache expert, but from my limited experience with mod_rewrite I'm
pretty sure, almost 100% sure, that the browser knows nothing about
it.  For the browser to know about it apache would have to send back
something other than a 200 response (I think).  But as is best with all
things - try it and see what happens (o:

Hi Dim

Thanks for the reply.

I have a question on mod_rewrite..if the URL is rewritten then does the 
location box (URL box ) on the browser show the new URL
or the old one? (Meaning all the relative links in my page point to the old 
URI or the new one?)

Thanks again
Shanti

mod_rewrite?  I think the problem is that the request will get to tomcat,
and tomcat will not have /example1 mapped...
