Re: How get www.site.com homepage requests to forward to Tomcat without a redirect?
Removing the [R] from the RewriteRule breaks everything and no page is served: RewriteRule ^/$ /home.htm **does not work** I'm curious: how does everyone else map the domain request to an actual page??? domain.com --to-- domain.com/home.htm Everyone must be doing this, right? What are other solutions for doing this? Pete On Mon, 25 Apr 2005 08:13:19 +0200, Trond G. Ziarkowski wrote: Hi, try removing the [R] from your RewriteRule.

RE: How get www.site.com homepage requests to forward to Tomcat without a redirect?
Thanks, but it still doesn't work! I removed the RewriteRule from httpd.conf and added the welcome-file-list section to the web.xml file. Now, when I go to my vanilla domain (www.smartmicro.com) I get this message: Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. Apache/2.0.47 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.47 OpenSSL/0.9.7b DAV/2 mod_jk/1.2.4 Server at www.smartmicro.com Port 80 It's as if Apache isn't even trying to forward the request to Tomcat. What do you guys configure, next, to get www.domain.com requests to be processed by Tomcat?

How do you get images to cache?
Background: For my web pages, since they are dynamically generated, I want them NOT to be stored in browsers' caches. No problem; I know the tags 'n such to put in the pages so they don't cache. BUT, for my images, I DO want the images to cache in the browser's cache to make the pages load quicker and to save Internet traffic. Question: How do I get the images to cache?

Re: How get www.site.com homepage requests to forward to Tomcat without a redirect?
(We get about 1,000 visitors a day to our site.) Just curious: Isn't Tomcat responses inefficient because it has to pass the response back to Apache via a named pipe or TCP or some other connector mechanism? Peter Alvin How much traffic are you really getting to your site? If you're like a majority of sites, not enough that the benefit of Apache is going to really be noticable.

How get www.site.com homepage requests to forward to Tomcat without a redirect?
I'm currently using Tomcat 4. When someone goes to my site, say, www.site.com, I'd like it run a servlet for the home page instead of a static page (my entire site is dynamic).
