RE: Apache + Tomcat Virtual Host not loading web.xml
I don't think you have a servlet mapping until you add a servlet-mapping entry to your web.xml. I could be wrong, but I don't believe the Servlet spec guarantees you can access the servlet by name with just a servlet-name. That nitpick aside, I assume you are using Tomcat 3.2.x. Neither mod_jk or mod_jserv pass web.xml information to Apache. All Apache knows about Tomcat's contexts is what it gets from the config file(s). You will need to manually add the servlet mappings you need, JkMount /setup ajp13 in your case. Tomcat 3.3 tries to support this a little better by including servlet mappings in the auto-generated config file. However, this is not the default behavior for generating the config file. Instead, the default is to map all requests related to a Tomcat context, and not have Apache serve static files. This helps insure that the behavior defined in the web.xml file functions properly. You can try by specifying JkMount / ajp13 and JkMount /* ajp13. Note that in spite of this, Apache will still serve an index.html without giving Tomcat a chance to serve the request. Hope this helps.

RE: Apache + Tomcat Virtual Host not loading web.xml
Larry: The JkMount is in the apache httpd.conf file, but the web.xml should be read by tomcat when it starts up. Apache is not even in the picture yet. I think the problem is that tomcat is either: 1. Not processing the web.xml. 2. Not finding the setup servlet. I dont think this has anything to do with the servlet mappings of apache.

RE: Apache + Tomcat Virtual Host not loading web.xml
Hi Niel, Sorry I didn't pickup that this was a load on startup problem. Cutting an pasting your settings into Tomcat 3.3's examples webapp reveals why web.xml is not being read (WebXmlReader has a validate parameter which defaults to true). A syntax error exists at: param-nameDbUser/param-name param-valuemyuser/param-value '' is missing --^ I'm assuming there was no cut and paste error placing the text into the e-mail.
