[users@httpd] Apache reverse proxy to tomcat application server

[li...@cgi-net.ch]

Hi List,

I'm running mod_jk on a apache 2.2.14 connecting to a second host, running
tomcat 5 server with a third party application.
This application is configured to display some company internal
information when accessing the page directly without any subdirectory:
like: http://<servername>/
A second application part is located under address
http://<servername>/application -> please note, this is not a directory,
this is a servlet-mapping made by tomcat (and we can't change the tomcat
setup as we would loose support for it)

My problem is now, that I only what to grant access to
http://<servername>/application for external customers through the apache
mod_jk setup.
But of some reason do I have trouble implementing this.

The stuff only works if I configure mod_jk to JkMount /* - but with that,
also the page ttp://<servername>/ is access-able.
I've also tried it with Rewrite rules, etc. but nothing was/is working.

I therefore would kindly appreciate if someone could give me a hint on
that.
If you have questions or if you require additional information, feel free
to ask for them.

Thanks and all the best,
Simon

The right list to discuss mod_jk is the Tomcat users mailing list.

To subscribe, send mail to

    users-subscribe@tomcat.apache.org

To jumpstart the discussion there, please provide in the post your 
mod_jk version number, your configuration and possibly the contents of 
the mod_jk log file with JkLogLevel debug when using "JkMount 
/application|/* ..." which apparently didnt work for you.

Regards,

Rainer
