simple URL issue

[Duane Gran <ra...@spinweb.net>]

I have tried several things, but I am stumped by a cosmetic issue with
getting the desired URL I want from Tomcat 3.2b.  I desire to have the
nice "/servlet/ServletName" URI, but instead I can only get it work with
"/servlet/servlet/ServletName", which is a little ugly.  I'm sure I'm
overlooking something.

My httpd conf has the following in a VirtualHost entry:

  ApJServMount /servlet ajpv12://localhost:8107/examples

In stand alone mode, here is what I have for the URL to an example:

  http://www.SolarisCentral.org:8080/examples/servlet/HelloWorldExample

Below is what I have when using Apache to mount this servlet context:

  http://www.SolarisCentral.org/servlet/servlet/HelloWorldExample

In the latter example you can see my dillema with the messy URL.  There
is a FAQ entry about a similar issue with mapping "servlets" in addition
to "servlet" at this URL:

 
http://jakarta.apache.org/jyve-faq/Turbine/screen/DisplayQuestionAnswer/action/SetAll/project_id/2/faq_id/12/topic_id/43/question_id/351

I tried this advice, but no luck.  I got 404 errors for everything I
tried.  Has anyone seen this before or could you give me a pointer on
this?  Thank you.
