Hi,
Got it working eventually by the way, for anyone that is interested.
This is using mod_jk to communicate with a tomcat that is *not* listening
on port 8080.
web.xml:
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>ShoppingBasket</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.mysite.utils.shopping.basket</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<url-pattern>/basket</url-pattern>
<servlet-name>ShoppingBasket</servlet-name>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
and in httpd.conf for the virtual host:
JkMount /servlet/* ajp13
JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
JkMount /basket ajp13
JkMount /basket/* ajp13
(Example is made up but closely mirrors that of a customer who was having
trouble, and now appears to be happy)
The last two entries are necessary so that apache knows to forward them
to tomcat, otherwise tomcat never sees them and also so that:
http://domain/basket
And
http://domain/basket/whatever or http://domain/basket?
Type urls work correctly.
It was a struggle but I got there, thanks for the help and comments along
the way. Am I unique in having to do this? Are most of you guys not using
mod_jk or have I botched my configuration elsewhere?
TIA
Paul
