Apache and Tomcat bridging - Servlet enabled?

[Foo Shyn <fo...@optegra.com.my>]

Hi,

This question suddenly struck me when i'm trying to solve my server problem. Here goes:

Server settings: Apache 2 as front, Tomcat 4.1 as back, J2SDK 1.4.2
Let say that i'd configure that Apache so that whenever a request for www.abc.com will be redirected to the Tomcat's A context which contain a servlet TestServlet. The web.xml is there.

When i access the www.abc.com/TestServlet , the Apache throws me a 404 error (not Tomcat), which means that the Apache failed to redirect the request to A folder. But when i configure my servlet path as /TestServlet.jsp, and i use the path www.abc.com/TestServlet.jsp (not a jsp page!) to access the servlet, i manage to do so. 

Is this some settings problem on Apache? or my Tomcat problem?

Thanx.
Regards,
FooShyn

most likely you are using mod_jk, and have configured .jsp to be forwarded.

Look for
JkMount *.jsp
in your httpd.conf file

Redirected? Or are you using mod_jk or mod_proxy_ajp, or even
mod_proxy_http? Typically, fronting Tomcat with Apache does not use
redirection.

We would need to see your configuration to tell you what might be going
wrong. If you are using proxying or mod_jk, then you will have to map
/TestServlet to go to Tomcat. I'm guessing that you have a mapping for
/*.jsp, but not other things.
