Re: app roll out.

[Alexander Wallace]

My guess is that the solution with apache works becouse even if apache switces 
to https, it still talks to tomcat via plain http, and since the objects are 
in tomcat's session, and tomcat doesn't need to switch to https, it will not 
create a new session.

You need to add the index.jsp to the possible "DirectoryIndex"
directive. For example:

#
# DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML
# directory index.  Separate multiple entries with spaces.
#

DirectoryIndex index.html index.jsp


If you call a URL without a file spec, Apache will try all the files in
the DirectoryIndex directive utnil it his one.

Here is the line that workd for me in Apache 1.3.27 Are you using Apache
2.x?

Redirect temp /index.html http://main.wellinx.com/servlets/Logon?STATE=0&USER=doctor

The '/' by itself may not work. When I set it up, I had to include the
'index.html'. But I do not remember because I set it up so long ago.

you could just define your context path="" in server.xml. this should give

The line:

RedirectMatch ^/$ http://mysite/theContext 

did the trick.

Now I have to find out how to make apache call index.jsp automatically if no 
page is requested.  If i use http://localhost:8080/myapp tomcat calls 
index.jsp automatically, but when going through apache 
(http://localhost/myapp) apache doesn't load the index.jsp.  

How can i make it load index.jsp automatically?

Thanks again!

Adding a line like the one you suggest doesn't seem to work... People at 
apache's irc said it should be something like:

Redirect / http://www.domain.com/context

But that only seems to create infinite redirects since it redirects to the 
same domain name.

The docs say that redirect takes a URI and then a URL.

Could you check your config files and paste one line here? Just to make sure 
the syntax is correct?

Thanks!

That sounds very interesting, i have to see how that works, becouse i don't

RE: app roll out.

[James Higginbotham]

That's probably the case if you were using cookies to track sessions.
The cookie spec mentions that the port is also part of the scope of a
cookie, so when you went from www.foo.com:80 to www.foo.com:443 you
changed the scope of the original cookie and thus created a new
"session" on the server side. The fix is to either change the cookie's
domain to be foo.com rather than www.foo.com, which will make it match
to all servers in that domain on all ports. At least, this seems to be
what I remember the issue being several years ago for a similar
deployment I did.

Re: app roll out.

[Alexander Wallace]

I'm redirecting everything to tomcat, but part of my app requires ssl, and 
although tomcat can handle ssl, when i tryed it, all objects in my session 
that was started not using ssl, were not accessible once swithced to ssl. I 
don't know if this is the right behavior or if there is a way around it, i 
asked the list and never got an answer, so i asummed that's how it should be.

Thanks!

Well, if you were just running tomcat, I'd say put your app in 
webapps/ROOT, but I'm not sure how to configure mod_jk to redirect all 
stuff from the server root to tomcat. If you are directing everything to 
tomcat, just bag apache altogether!

This would be done by Apache (though it could possibly be done by
Tomcat; I use Apache). You can do it one of two ways:

1) Use mod_rewrite to rewrite "/index.html" to "/path-to-context-name".
Not sure on the mechanics of this. Try the Apache list for pointers, or
any number of tutotials on mod_rewrite.

2) Use the 'Redirect' directive in Apache. This is what I use and has
worked for 2 years. Basically, you stick a line in your httpd.conf which
goes:

Redirect temp www.domain.com www.domain.com/path-to-context
