 You would probably be better off to just make mod_jk* properly
 support
 Apache (and other webserver) configuration directives such as
 Directory
 and Files, then use them to control what gets passed on to tomcat.
 
 Having mod_jk trying to do parsing based on filenames on disk is a
 very bad idea for performance and security reasons, especially on
 win32 platforms.
 
I'm not sure where you are coming from, I am not suggesting pasing
based on filenames on disk.  I am speaking of resource names in the
request URL.  Granted in most cases there is a matching file name on
disk, but that is irrelivant for this process. 

The matching occurs on the URI and the decision to pass to Tomcat is
made with out ever looking at the disk. 

for example: 

JkMount /weatherPage/* 
JkNotMount /weatherPage/images/* 
JkNotMount /weatherPage/*.html 

would yeild the following results 
Request   Handled By Server 
---
http://my.server/weatherPage/index.html apache 
http://my.server/weatherPage/textForcast

URI Space and smarter hand off between Apache/Tomcat

2003-07-17 Thread P. Brewer
I found the following thread from a year ago: 

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-devm=102815260317741w=2\

Basiclly discussing a JkNotMount for excluding images and other
static content from being passed to Tomcat.  I can't tell that
anythin was done. 

Was it shot down for a technical reason?  Just didn't get implmented?
Or is implemented and not documented?  I can help with C code, but
probably not much help with Java code.
