[MOD_REWRITE] Why...
Can anyone tell me why the when using the mod_rewrite module, Tomcat
can't/don't seem to retrieve
the rewritten url and args?
As I am responsible of the migration from JServ to Tomcat, I've to write a
documentation that explain
this point...

Uh... the solution is the 2 items in my response (load mod_jk before
mod_rewrite, put [PT] on RewriteRules).

Indeed, phew I finally found someone with the same hemm...problem ;)
Did you find a solution?
Did you try to "patch" Tomcat? ;)

FYI,
I find that both of these steps are in fact required. I tried just
adding the [PT] flag to the rewrite rules, and it wasn't good enough.

We found that we had to do 2 things:
1) Make sure that mod_jk was loaded into Apache *before* mod_rewrite,
which meant moving the loading of mod_jk from mod_jk.conf to Apache's
httpd.conf, and we listed it in the LoadModule and AddModule lists
*before* mod_rewrite. That ensured that mod_rewrite got to the URL
before mod_jk did. I'm now less convinced this is absolutely
necessary--the next item may be more important.
2) Put the [PT] (passthrough) flag on all RewriteRule lines that were
rewriting URLs to go to Tomcat.
Also, one gotcha we hit was using the same pathname for both the
incoming URLs and for the Tomcat context, e.g.
http://ourhost/ContestSignup for the URL and /ContestSignup for the
context path. It's better (maybe required) to use a different name for
the context path, like /ContestSignupServlet.

Hmmm,
I don't think so, the facts are the facts: Tomcat (v3.2.3 on Linux) doesn't
work
with the actual rules I use for the mod_rewrite module (apache 1.3.20).
And I precise, it works perfectly with JServ!
I am a devlopper as many of you and don't think I'm the best ^_^;
But can you then explain me why it doesn't work? I've look at the
source and found a way to solve this problem so...what should I think? :)
Regards too (for your answer :D)
