2 newbie questions: Apache-tomcat
1. is it possibly apply aliases to tomcat? For example: the webapp-root is /www/mywebapp. I want to mount an directory /other/directory/help to the name help (httpd.conf: alias /help other/directory/help). But when i'm calling http://mywebsite/help it crash's with a 404 error:o( . When i'm using JRUN, all is okay. Jrun handle aliases without problems. But Tomcat don't??? 2. is the Option JkMount /*.jsp worker1 the same as JkMount /*/*.jsp worker1? Or means /*.jsp only the *.jsp in the root of my webapp? Can i wrote something like that: JkMount /servlet/* worker1 JkMount /anotherdirectory/servlet/* worker2 and it works? How about regexpressions in the JkMount-option? thanks very match Ilona - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How about regexpressions in the JkMount-option? #1: no. The second one is invalid, only one wildcard (*) is allowed. #2: /*.jsp means send all requests ending in .jsp to Tomcat regardless of the directory structure #3: yes. /servlet/* matches http://localhost/servlet/myServlet but not http://localhost/someDir/servlet/myServlet. #4: no. Best thing to do is try it and see. John - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: 2 newbie questions: Apache-tomcat
If you go this way you you have to be carefull with the alias directive. (If you let tomcat serve everything, you don't need the alias, but that's quite uncommon) If you have static resources that are directly delivered through apache, apache has to alias just this resources, not the the ones that are delivered through tomcat. (Otherwise tomcat cant match the url against /help. Another thing is, that you create a new context for the alias. If help is just one part of a webapp this can have some impact on the application. Another option is to use the alias in apache as it is, and setup tomcat to match the alias url.

AW: 2 newbie questions: Apache-tomcat
John and Ralph: thanks for help! :o) aliases: in principle- it works :o) but there was an error on tomcat-start: Missing application web.xml, using defaults only. Our application web.xml is located in %docroot%/WEB-INF/classes. Why Tomcat dosn't find them if i call the alias? The Rest of the application works fine. JkMount: now i understand the whole thing is a little bit better. It's a pitty that the documentation is so sparing of words Greeting :o) Ilona -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Ralph Einfeldt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Freitag, 18.

Hi - You're welcome. web.xml belongs in WEB-INF, not WEB-INF/classes.
