But Tomcat don't??? in server.xml: Context path=/help docBase=/other/directory/help /Context 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? #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.

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. Context path=/other and have a file like AppRoot/other/directory/help/index.html Or Context path= and have a file like AppRoot/webapp/other/directory/help/index.jsp -Original Message- From: John Turner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 18, 2003 4:53 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: 2 newbie questions: Apache-tomcat in server.xml: Context path=/help docBase=/other/directory/help /Context - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
