to mount tomcat / to apache /

[Michael Yuan <ju...@pan.as.utexas.edu>]

Hi folks,

I have setup my apache + tomcat server and it works great! But I can not
figure out a way to mount the tomcat / to the apache / in the ApJServMount
command ...

If I tell server.xml that the "/" is "/webpages", it will come up
correctly when I do "http://host:8080/" (8080 is the tomcat service port
on my computer). But if I do "ApJServMount / /root", the "http://host/"
would still return the "index.html" at apache htdocs directory. 

Is there a simple way to mount the tomcat / to apache's / ?

Thanks 
Michael

hmm, yes you can use mod_rewrite, but isn't that cheating?

I haven't looked at tomcat source for a while, but this feature (mapping to
/) was pretty broken for standalone 3.0. Hopefully it's fixed for 3.1
(costin?)

As for working with mod_jserv, I remember mod_jserv + jserv didn't support
mapping to /. I wonder if mod_jserv + tomcat does?

The Apache mod_rewrite module will do that trick. I've done this with
with JServ only, but I guess it works the same way with Tomcat.

For example, the following in httpd.conf will pass through /*.html,
/images/* and /static/* to the filesystem, but handle everything else by
a servlet mounted as /engine/helmaorg.

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule ^/(.*\.html)$ /$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^/images(.*) /images$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^/static(.*) /static$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^/(.*) /engine/helmaorg/$1 [PT]

You can find more on mod_rewrite at
http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html and
http://www.apache.org/docs/misc/rewriteguide.html
