RE: how can i get static files REALLY been processed by apache ???

2003-02-13 Thread Luca Morandini 
Hussayn,

I know it is not a smart solution, but it worked for me.

1) Setup mod_jk to redirect everything starting with myapp to Tomcat/Cocoon
2) Setup an alias named myapp-static pointed to a directory containing your static 
files
3) Use URI like /myapp/dynamic.htlm for dynamic content and URI like 
/myapp-static/static.html for static content

This has the advantage of scaling up well: we have three web-servers serving the 
static content (/myapp-static/*) and one
app-server serving the Cocoon-generated content (/myapp/*).

Regards.

 Subject: how can i get static files REALLY been processed by apache ???


 Hy;

 When i setup apache/tomcat/cocoon, i run into following
 fancy problem. Although what i want seems trivial, but i did not
 manage to get it done (I might not know the magic command to get round it)

 Here is the problem:

 1.) I want all static files been served by apache, i.e.:

  *.gif, *.html, *.jpg

 2.) I want *ALL* other files be served by cocoon.


 Now how should i setup mod_jk.conf 

 this doesn't help:

 IfModule mod_jk.c
JkWorkersFile /etc/httpd/conf/workers.properties
JkLogFile /var/log/httpd/mod_jk.log
JkLogLevel error
JkMount /cocoon   cocoon
JkMount /cocoon/  cocoon
JkMount /cocon/*  cocoon
 /IfModule

 because it redirects everything to cocoon. But apache shall
 serve the files mentioned above ...

 This is not complete (Indeed it can never be complete):
 IfModule mod_jk.c
JkWorkersFile /etc/httpd/conf/workers.properties
JkLogFile /var/log/httpd/mod_jk.log
JkLogLevel error
JkMount /cocoon/*.xml   cocoon
JkMount /cocoon/*.jsp   cocoon
JkMount /cocon/*.foococoon
...
 /IfModule

 The list could potentially go down endlessly.
 There MUST be an obvious solution to this!

 Anyone can help me here ?

2003-02-13 Thread SAXESS - Hussayn Dabbous 
Hy;

yes, it is a typo...
but my problem remains when i correct the typo ..

remember: i want to EXCLUDE some files to be forwarded to cocoon,
and i didn't find HOW i can get JK to do this...

JkMount /cocoon/*  cocoon == mount everything
JkNoMount *.gif, *.jpg cocoon == but not these

while the first directive is well documented, the secnd
is what i need, but it doesn't exist. so the question is,
how can i get what i want ? ;-(

 There MUST be an obvious solution to this!

Here's what I did, its just for the images but you could extend it to
anything:

Create a new website called images.examples.com in your
httpd.conf file.  Here's some snippets of my Apache2 one:
VirtualHost 10.0.0.181
 ServerName  www.example.com
 # this all goes to cocoon, but need a docroot anyway
 DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/data/example
 # send all these requests to the coyote connector
 JkMount /* cocoon
   /VirtualHost
   VirtualHost 10.0.0.181
 ServerName  images.example.com
 DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/data/example
   /VirtualHost
So now when a request comes in you'll have Apache handle it differently
for www vs images

Its not that elegant to have references to
http://static.example.com/path/to/myhelp.html; but hey, it gets the job
done.  You can tell cocoon to throw in the static a href for you so it
wouldn't be that much work.

Hy,

Your last comment sounds very promising.
How could i let cocoon throw in the static refs ???
Wouldn't that mean i need cocoon to find the hrefs and
do some replacement stuff there. Or how would i do that?
any pointers to howto, docs or so ?

 Its not that elegant to have references to

Re: how can i get static files REALLY been processed by apache ???

Hi Hussayn -

Here is what I do in almost every cocoon app I do:

map:match pattern=styles.css
 map:read mime-type=text/css src=/styles/styles.css/
/map:match
map:match pattern=**/styles.css
 map:read mime-type=text/css src=/styles/styles.css/
/map:match

map:match pattern=*.gif
 map:read mime-type=image/gif src=/images/{1}.gif/
/map:match
map:match pattern=**/*.gif
 map:read mime-type=image/gif src=/images/{2}.gif/
/map:match

Any gif or css (and you can do the same for jpg, js, etc.) gets 
redirected to the appropriate directory off the webserver root, and 
hence is served by Apache. So, under Apache's DocumentRoot I have 
/images, /styles, /scripts, etc., etc.

Regards,

Lajos

Hey, Lajos;

i see we are all very creative people ;-)
Another cool idea how to get around the problem.

The one thing i am *really* uncomfortable with this
solution is the sequence:

1.) browser requests .img
2.) apache forwards request to tomcat
3.) tomcat forwards request to cocoon
4.) cocoon processes and redirects.
5.) apache redirects
6.) browser calls apache
7.) apache serves the file


hmm. performance again ??


i really would prefer something like:

1.) browser requests .img
2.) apache serves the file

ill need to switch on my hackers-brain-partition ;-)
Thanks again for your answers...

 map:read mime-type=image/gif src=/images/{1}.gif/
/map:match
map:match pattern=**/*.gif
 map:read mime-type=image/gif src=/images/{2}.gif/
/map:match

Any gif or css (and you can do the same for jpg, js, etc.) gets 
redirected to the appropriate directory off the webserver root, and 
hence is served by Apache. So, under Apache's DocumentRoot I have 
/images, /styles, /scripts, etc., etc.

i mean, you really must point to the myapp-static pages

seems as if i need to do it in this way, or let cocoon

Maybe i can plugin something in to apache, or would it be

1) Setup mod_jk to redirect everything starting with myapp to

2) Setup an alias named myapp-static pointed to a directory 
containing your static files
3) Use URI like /myapp/dynamic.htlm for dynamic content and URI 
like /myapp-static/static.html for static content

This has the advantage of scaling up well: we have three web-servers

2003-02-13 Thread Christoph Gaffga 
Hi,

I'm using RewriteCond and RewriteRule in my apache config for that purpose.
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html#RewriteCond)
(see also http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html#RewriteCond)

You can use -f with RewriteCond to check if the file exists, and if, catch
it from hd.
Something like the following should work:

RewriteCond /your/docroot/dir1/%{REQUEST_FILENAME}  -f
RewriteRule ^(.+)  /your/docroot/dir1/$1  [L]

hope that helps

Re: how can i get static files REALLY been processed by apache ???

2003-02-13 Thread Chris Wilkes 
Fixing the top posting a little bit...

 Here's what I did, its just for the images but you could extend it to
 anything:
 
 Create a new website called images.examples.com in your
 httpd.conf file.  Here's some snippets of my Apache2 one:
  VirtualHost 10.0.0.181
  ServerName  www.example.com
  # this all goes to cocoon, but need a docroot anyway
  DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/data/example
  # send all these requests to the coyote connector
  JkMount /* cocoon
/VirtualHost
VirtualHost 10.0.0.181
  ServerName  images.example.com
  DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/data/example
/VirtualHost
 So now when a request comes in you'll have Apache handle it differently
 for www vs images
 
 Its not that elegant to have references to
 http://static.example.com/path/to/myhelp.html; but hey, it gets the job
 done.  You can tell cocoon to throw in the static a href for you so it
 wouldn't be that much work.

 Hy,
 
 Your last comment sounds very promising.
 How could i let cocoon throw in the static refs ???
 Wouldn't that mean i need cocoon to find the hrefs and
 do some replacement stuff there. Or how would i do that?
 any pointers to howto, docs or so ?

My needs were pretty simple where I wanted to have some standard images
on a page so I included it in the XSLT to make the webpage.  Not sure if
that's the correct way of doing it, in fact I'm a little concerned that I
might be using XSLTs in a way that they shouldn't be used:

  xsl:template match=topmiddle
xsl:comment Horizontal guides /xsl:comment
img src=http://images.example.com/blue.gif;/img
br/br
img src=http://images.example.com/white.gif;/img
  /xsl:template

You might be able to workup some sort of xsl: if text clause to
manipulate the {link} reference to go to the static page.

Title: RE: how can i get static files REALLY been processed by apache ???






Hussayn, 


I am not an expert on mod_jk internals, nor am I up to date on where development has moved in the last few months. However, the last time I checked into this I came away with the distinct impression that mod_jk simply isn't capable of doing those two requirements together. There was some talk in jk2 of allowing negated, or even regexp expressions but AKAIK the ability does not exist currently. 

I think given the current options, for the scenario you describe below, your best bet is to follow Pier's advice: http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=ApacheModProxy

Re: how can i get static files REALLY been processed by apache ???

2003-02-13 Thread Lajos 
Ok, there is another way. Say you have your top level directories - 
images, scripts, style - under DocumentRoot, so they are served by 
Apache. Then, you have specific Cocoon applications forwarded to Cocoon 
in Tomcat via JkMount's:

JkMount /myapp1 ajp13
JkMount /myapp2 ajp13

etc.

Then, in the XSLs that produce the HTML in your Cocoon apps, you just 
put /images, /scripts, /style for all *.gif, *.jpg, *.js, *.css files. 
So, nothing will ever get routed thru Tomcat.

Luca is right that is is inefficient to use the pipelines the way I 
suggest. And in fact, for galatea.com I do just what I suggest above: 
all my gif, jpg, css and js references start from the root so never get 
to Cocoon.

Regards,

Lajos

Hey, Lajos;

Another cool idea how to get around the problem.

The one thing i am *really* uncomfortable with this
solution is the sequence:

1.) browser requests .img
2.) apache forwards request to tomcat
3.) tomcat forwards request to cocoon
4.) cocoon processes and redirects.
5.) apache redirects
6.) browser calls apache
7.) apache serves the file


hmm. performance again ??


i really would prefer something like:

1.) browser requests .img
2.) apache serves the file
