JkMount changing webapp context

[Carlo Montanari <ca...@t-systems.it>]

I'm not sure whether this is the best mailing list for the question, 
feel free to blame me if it isn't.
I have a simple configuration with apache 2.2.6, mod_jk 1.2.25 and 
tomcat 6.0.14.
In tomcat I have a web application running, say /myapp, that I want to 
publish in apache as the root application of a dedicated virtualhost.
In other words, when the users ask for http://www.myapphost.tld/, they 
should see the content of http://localhost:8009/myapp/
Is it possible to achieve this result using only connector's 
configuration, or should I work on apache's side, maybe doing some trick 
with mod_rewrite?
Is it unusual the requirement of mapping each web application as the 
root of a virtualhost?

Thanks, bye

No need. Just name the webapp "ROOT", which is a special name, and
deploy it in the appropriate Tomcat virtual host.

There's plenty of info in the configuration docs.

Not so much no.

For a Tomcat-only solution, define as many <Host> elements in server.xml
as you need, each with a different value for the appBase attribute.
Deploy each <Host>'s default webapp as ROOT under the corresponding
appBase location.

Look at:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/virtual-hosting-howto.html

for more details.
