Heya folx....got another question for y'all...
I've got a site on a server, let's call it drew.serv1.com. I use absolute
links to images there (i.e., <img src="/images/mygif.jpg">). So the main
page could be accessed by http://drew.serv1.com/main/index.jsp and
everything works groovy.
Now, let's say that I have a proxy set up so that
http://www.drew.com/main/index.jsp should also work. However, I find that
the absolute links are trying to be found based on a root of www.drew.com
as opposed to drew.serv1.com.
To remedy this problem, I can see adding http://drew.serv1.com as a preface
to all my image tags and anything else that is absolute (<img
src="http://drew.serv1.com/images/mygif.jpg">). Time consuming and bad
programming. So, I was reading about the <virtual-directory> and
<document-root> tags, and I was wondering which one of those would serve my
purpose? I was also thinking about the <virtual-host> tag as well, and was
wondering if I should add "www.drew.com" to the virtual-host tag of this
website?
And just for the sake of argument, let's just say that there's nothing I
can do about the DNSing or proxying at this point. :)
