NEWBIE PROBLEM: JSP files under htdocs in Apache
Hi I do not know if I am to junior for this list.
I am running apache and tomcat.
I got apache to pass requests for servlets and jsp files to tomcat, but only
the default example JSP pages in the /examples directory under tomcat.
The problem is that I cannot get tomcat to look at JSP files under my
htdocs(apache) dir, it can only process stuff under the examples dir.
How do I configure tomcat to process(compile) JSP pages to servlets located
elsewhere from the default directories.
A Newbie

Why not implemented such feature in mod_jk (extending ajp13 to ajp14 with
news commands ?)

I'm sorry to say that this stuff may be added to mod_jk. Still the
syndrom of the wheel.

Sorry but mod_jk as at minima 3 commiters (Dan, Costin and I) ;)
And many users as provided some patches.
Let me resume :
mod_jk :
functionnal connector, load-balancing, TC 3.2 and 3.3 compatibility
mod_webapp :
connector (with bug in cookies -> no session possibles), no load-balancing,
strictly restrited to 4.x
I've reported the cookie problem at least 2 times but still no answer :
http://w4.metronet.com/~wjm/tomcat/2000/Dec/msg01064.html
http://w4.metronet.com/~wjm/tomcat/2001/Jan/msg00204.html
The pragmatic approach will to add mod_webapp stuff (related to 2.3) to
mod_jk, eventually
by deriving ajp13 to ajp14. Adding two-ways exchange may be a real need for
centralized
admin (apache admin from tomcat or tomcat from apache)
I didn't remember there was a vote or poll on mod_jk/mod_webapp ?-) (No
polemic)
A+

Robert,
This kind of question is much better addressed to the TOMCAT-USER mailing list.
TOMCAT-DEV is for discussions about how to build Tomcat itself, not how to use
it. You can subscribe by sending an empty message to
TOMCAT-USER-SUBSCRIBE@JAKARTA.APACHE.ORG or follow the link on the Jakarta web
site.
Thanks,
Craig McClanahan
