Doesn't Process CSS files
I have an apache-http tomcat configuration set up that works just
fine, with static htm's, jsp's, and servlets, except for one thing. It
finds all my .htm static content, and, when serving that, uses the
referenced .css style sheets. However, when it goes to tomcat and
serves .jsp files, it doesn't process them with the .css style sheet.
I thought that the page went to the browser, the browser "sees" the
reference to the .css file, then goes back and requests it to determine
how to render the page.
Is this right? If so, why doesn't apache give the .css file out of its directory
like it does for the .htm pages? BTW, I've also tried putting a copy of the
.css file in the same directory as the .jsp pages, to no avail, and, in the .jsp
file, have tried several combinations and permutations of referencing the
.css file using various url's including and not including the webapp directory
name.
Here's the directory structure:
apache's stuff:
/var/www/MyWebSite/ <- All .htm's and .css's
/var/webapps/MyWebSite/ <- All .jsp's and .tld's
/var/webapps/MyWebSite/WEB-INF <- Exactly what you think it is- all servlets and tag libraries
Thanks.

Re: Doesn't Process CSS files
Posted by aladdin <al...@csunv.com>.
Ouch! I fixed it, after David put me onto typing directly into
the browser (many thanks, David). I had "style.css" in the link reference,
and as soon as I changed that to "/style.css", it found it. And, also, now there's
no attempt at mapping in the mod_jk log.
But I still have the question as to why is this the case? Why would
a file referenced as "file.ext" be mapped to mod_jk, when a file
referenced as "/file.ext" isn't?
Actually, I'm beginning to think I'll never understand how an integrated
apache/tomcat installation resolves its file names.

Ahh! Late breaking experiment- thanks for the "how to check directly".
When I type http://my.addr.whatever/style.css, I get it. However, when
go to https://my.addr.whatever/style.css, I don't get it. Note the http vs.
https. However when I put the same document root into the virtual host
associated with the secure socket (port 443), and then try, I do
https://my.addr.whatever/style.css, now I do get it.
Sorry, that was kind of convoluted. In other words, I can get
it by typing directly, both with http and https (after fixing my virtual host in the
apache.conf file), but the JSPs are not seeing it, and it's
still attempting to be mapped as indicated below, in the mod_jk.log file.
I've looked in the apache log files, and found this in the JK log file:
[Tue Aug 15 21:08:37 2006][23449:1728] [debug]map_uri_to_worker::jk_uri_worker_map.c (449): Attempting to map URI '/smsinfo.css' from 6 maps

Here is my mod_jk configuration file, so why is it trying to map the '/smsinfo.css' to mod_jk for tomcat processing?

Type the url of an css file directly into your browser and see what
the response is. Something like: http://www.apache.org/style/style.css

Your assumption is correct that the client browser makes a separate
request to retrieve css files just like images or any other page resource.
I would think your apache access log would offer some insight into why
the css files aren't being delivered and what the status code is. You
can also attempt to access them directly and see what kind of response
you get.
