Want to switch; stuck on virtual hosts
I have an apache service with several name-based virtual websites, all
using JServ and GNUJSP. Works fine but I want taglibs and other
features of Tomcat so I'm trying to switch a couple of these websites to
Tomcat 3.2.
I had no trouble getting Tomcat to work out-of-the-box but I can't get
it to serve the virtual hosts. The documentation says to serve virtual
hosts by putting up a separate JVM and Tomcat instance for each virtual
host. This is obviously ridiculous and I won't be doing that.
So my question is, why? Why can't I aim all my virtual hosts at the
same Tomcat and have Tomcat compile the various JSPs into servlets in
different directories? I understand that they'll all have the same
classpath and security settings and so on but that's ok with me for now.
Does anyone have any configs or advice?

Yet again the instructions are buried deep in a document I cannot even
remember. All you need to do is add a line similar to the following in your
tomcat sever.xml and restart:
<Host name="www.somehost.com" >
<Context path="" docBase="/path/to/virtuals hosts/jsp etc" />
</Host>
Restart and you are in business - this presumes that the you also setup
apache correclty to pass the *.jsp's to Tomcat and that virtual hosting
itself within apache is setup correctly
Docbase can be either an absolute path or relative to
/jakarta_home/webapps/ROOT/...
Hope this helps
Andrew

mod_rewrite vs. mod_jk
Posted by Doug Collinge <dc...@abyssnet.com>.
Thanks for the help with the apache virtual host problem - got that
working fine. Next problem:
In the old JServ days I used a mod_rewrite rule to remap *.html into
something else for a home-baked template system. Doesn't seem to work
with mod_jk. I researched this issue in the archives and there seems to
be a general consensus that it can be made to work with mod_jserv as
long as mod_rewrite follows mod_jserv in the list of modules. Ok, how
about mod_jk? Doesn't work for me no matter which side of mod_rewrite
mod_jk falls on.
Should I expect mod_jk to work? How fully-baked is mod_jk anyway?
Should I retreat to mod_jserv?
