Moving Turbine app to root tomcat context
Hey All,
I'd like to access my turbine app via a root URL with Tomcat.
www.myserver.com:port
instead of
www.myserver.com:port/myapp/servlet/myapp.
I have a Context element in my server.xml with
path="" docbase="myapp"
attributes that will point a root URL request to the myapp directory in my
webapps. But my problem is I want to have this execute the Turbine myapp
servlet and serve up a page from that. The above root request serves an
index.html file when I put it in the myapp directory. Is what I want a
some kind of redirect, where www.myserver.com:port gets interpreted by
Tomcat as www.myserver.com:port/myapp/servlet/myapp? How have others
implemented this in Tomcat, or do I need something like Apache sitting in
front of Tomcat to do this?
Thanks,
Fred

Hey Rick,
I created a file in my myapp dir called index.jsp with the following
contents
<jsp:forward page="servlet/myapp">
and got nothing served after requesting the root url. I don't really know
jsp so maybe I'm missing something else that I need in the file. I should
be able to do a simple redirect. Does anyone on the list have experience
with this in JSP?
Thanks,
Fred

has a snipplet.
if you just want an easy entry-point to your website (or multiple entry
points, since you can have many jsps that are just redirecting), the
jsp-trick is probably much easier and faster to implement, unless you are
familiar to mod_rewrite (which allowed me to royally mess up my urls more
than once).

Thanks Rick,
I'm gonna look into both the (1) and the (2) solutions you proposed below.
Do you (or anyone else on the list) have code for the jsp page you
describe in solution (1) that redirects a root URL to a servlet URL. Or if
you can point me to the posts on the list that describe it I'd greatly
appreciate it (after an initial search I couldn't find anything about
this).
Thanks,
Fred

[...]
according to the discussions in the list-archive, there are just two ways:
1. write a small redirect-jsp and put it in your webapp-directory.
2. use apache in front of tomcat and use mod_rewrite to rewrite your URLs.
i used (2), but note that the link-tool will insist of adding the complete
pathinfo to your links.
