virtualhosts and context paths.

[Anthony Milbourne <an...@becta.org.uk>]

Hi

Sorry this is a bit of a repost but I didn't get a response last time :-(

I am using Tomcat 4.0.4 and Apache 1.3.26 talking over mod_jk (4.0.4) on
Solaris 8.

I have been trying to map a webapp to the root URL of a virtualhost in
Apache.
I tried using a command (in server.xml) such as:

<Context path="" docBase="mywebapp" />

But this didnt generate a corresponding entry in the autogenerated
mod_jk.conf.  The standard entry mapping mywebapp to /mywebapp
was there but nothing else.

As an experiment I tried:

<Context path="/" docBase="mywebapp" />

which did generate an extra mapping in mod_jk.conf.  That mapping
unfortunately has an extra / in front of all the URL paths.  So
/mywebapp/index.jsp is now mapped to //index.jsp.

Any ideas why Tomcat is ignoring the context with the empty path parameter?
I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me either, "it works fine
for me" or "I get that too".

Thanks,

		Anthony.
