I was avoiding posting to jetty-discuss right away, as I didn't really do that much research (short of a few websearches) on the matter.
Let me clarify though. I was hoping to make use of apache's facilities for these advanced configurations and simply proxy other requests over to JBoss. The trick would be to make sure that the url mappings look consistent from the Apache standpoint. So if there was a virtual host foo.mydomain.com, and jboss was running on mydomain.com:8080, then apache could proxy requests to a j2ee app deployed, but appear to be foo.mydomain.com. The webuser would never know about mydomain.com:8080. I know that some of this is possible with mod_proxy, but I am not so sure about the rest. I don't think that Jetty should try to incorporate all of the features and functionality of Apache. Instead, allow for JBoss/Jetty to be hooked up to Apache seemlessly and get the best of both worlds. --jason On Mon, 10 Dec 2001, Julian Gosnell wrote: > Jason, > > As far as i know - YES > > You should post on [EMAIL PROTECTED] where i am sure Greg will be > able to point you to the relevant doc and summarise various pros and cons. > > Jetty supports virtual hosts, but this has not been integrated with JBoss as > AFAIK, the Deployer does not yet support this (since J2EE doesn't???). > > Ask Greg re URL rewriting. > > Please let the list know of any other 'advanced features' that you feel Jetty > (or JBoss/J2EE) is lacking, so they can be considered. > > I'm crossposting you to jetty-discuss, and jboss-user, as the points this > thread raises may be of value to other participants. > > > Jules > > > > Jason Dillon wrote: > > > Hey, do you know if any integration support between jetty and apache?
