RE: how to put jsp files in regular apache root?

[Swart, James (Jim) ** CTR **]

yes.. that gives me an idea.. in apache/tomcat config can you put in a
wildcard proxy for like /*.jsp http://localhost:8080/*.jsp or even /*.jsp to
http://localhost:8080/myjspfolderhere/*.jsp ?I know IBM's IHS has this
option but I am not sure if wildcards are natively supported in apache.
Anyone?

I'm not sure about that one...

Try using a context path of "", also, you could try "*.jsp" that might also
work.
You could also try just running tomcat as your web server! Just change the
"8080"
in server.xml to "80"

Have you read through the tomcat docs?
