RE: Please verify this is correct: Need multiple virtual directories for isapi_redirector
I ask because I have come across way too many situations where something works not by design, but by luck. And then it turns out that while it did work - under certain circumstances it doesn't and I am left trying to find the correct solution in the middle of an emergency. Also, if this is the correct way to do it, I was going to post it in my blog as I am sure others run across this same problem.

RE: Is there such a beast ? (virtual directories)
This goes against the grain of the servlet spec. Generally, images would be something tied to a web application and would therefore be contained within the application war file (or directory) so that the webapp would be deployed as a single unit. ...but I'm not a puriest so have at it :P One option is to use a servlet that serves static files from directories and map that servlet in your web application's web.xml. This is nowhere near as robust or secure as putting httpd infront of your servlet containers. Again since this _could_ point outside the application directory it's a poor solution. Otherwise (as in Carl's suggestion): You can overlap URI mappings to contexts. So you can map: /app1 - fooApplication.war /app1/images - /usr/home/tomcat/images as long as your images directory is a deployable web application.

This is nowhere near as robust or secure as putting httpd infront of your servlet containers. Again since this _could_ point outside the application directory it's a poor solution. This approach is what we've done to use shared resources (static content) amongst multiple apps. In some deployment environments, running Apache in front of Tomcat is a no-go for our customers, so implementing this way allows us to *optionally* use Apache: If Apache present, image is at http://www.site.com/images/a.gif and physically at /.../images/a.gif If Apache is not present, image is at http://www.site.com/webAppA/static?a.gif and physically at /.../images/a.gif Point being, implementing the serving as a separate servlet can give you additional flexibility at deployment time. The assertion that this diminishes robustness and/or security must be taken in context -- in many situations, this can be preferable to running with Apache in front. As always, YMMV. justin Otherwise (as in Carl's suggestion): You can overlap URI mappings to contexts.

Virtual directories in Tomcat 5
Hi there, I had been using tomcat 4.1 and since I've made a change to TomCat 5.0.19, I'm having problems with creating virtual direcotries. All I want to do is to map for example such url : http://localhost/work/document.jsp to different directory than the $TomCatHome/webapps/Root/work/documnet.jsp. I would like to map every link starts with /work/ into directory c:\jspDocs\work. How to do this? In older version I had reached it by specifiing the CONTEXT element in /conf/server.xml file. I've tried it again and it works fine until the first restart of tomcat. Now it doesn't work. Please, could anybody help me with this. I'm really novice in tomcat, this is not the main range of my job.

All I want to do is to map for example such url : http://localhost/work/document.jsp to different directory than the $TomCatHome/webapps/Root/work/documnet.jsp. I would like to map every link starts with /work/ into directory c:\jspDocs\work. How to do this? In older version I had reached it by specifiing the CONTEXT element in /conf/server.xml file. I've tried it again and it works fine until the first restart of tomcat. Now it doesn't work. Please, could anybody help me with this. I'm really novice in tomcat, this is not the main range of my job.

creating virtual directories

IIS 5/Tomcat 4.1.24 virtual directories
I am replacing .asp code with .jsp but would like to keep IIS as the front end and pass requests to Tomcat to process any .jsp. I have IIS and Tomcat playing together nicely, save one (very important) thing, the virtual directories need to go away. I have a website called www.coolsite.com, when that hits the load balancer, I need it to pass it on to an IP: 10.0.0.1 where IIS is listening, but it only seems to work when I put in www.coolsite.com/coolapp (where coolapp is the context on Tomcat). I have tried changing the IIS home directory to include the coolapp directory as well as the parent directory (tomcat\webapps) but neither works (I always have to have the coolapp in the URL). Any ideas on how to get rid of the coolapp? Thank you, Rich - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Virtual directories/Host via mod_JK2
We have a bunch of customers using JSP on JDK 1.3.1 / Tomcat 3.1?2? / mod_jk / Apache 1.3. The default directory setup for these customers is DIRECTORY http://- path- - ./site_url/htmlhttp://siteurl ./site_url/jsp http://siteurl/jsp ./site_url/cgi-bin http://siteurl/cgi-bin ./site_url/logs-- we use mod_jk.conf-auto to when we add a new site all we have to do is add the virtual host in apache and server.xml, reboot tomcat apache and we are set. We'd like to move the same setup to JDK 1.4.2_01 / Tomcat 4.1.27 / mod_jk2 / Apache 2 All the HOW-TO's I've found do far and are hence far more more complex than we need. My understanding of how this should work is as follows: in Apache conf file in server.xml VirtualHost1.exported_dir - - VirtualHost1.contextpath-jsp_dir VirtualHost2.exported_dir - - VirtualHost2.contextpath-jsp_dir VirtualHost3.exported_dir - - VirtualHost3.contextpath-jsp_dir VirtualHost4.exported_dir -via mod_jk2.so- VirtualHost4.contextpath-jsp_dir VirtualHost5.exported_dir -[one entry in - VirtualHost5.contextpath-jsp_dir VirtualHost6.exported_dir -via mod_jk2.so- VirtualHost6.contextpath-jsp_dir VirtualHostN.exported_dir - - VirtualHostN.contextpath-jsp_dir can someone point me to a resource which might provide some info on piping requests to certain virtual directories thru mod_jk2. thanks.

Virtual Directories under tomcat?
How do I create a virtual directory under tomcat? For instance /DownloadDir/ - maps to - c:\temp\downloads\ In a url a user would enter something like: http://localhost/myservlet/downloaddir/abc.txtto access the files in c:\temp\downloads I wouldn't use a context for that, would I? Doesn't a Context represent a Web Application, not just a directory? Anyone have any information on setting one up? Thank you in advance... - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Virtual Directories under tomcat?
Typically, directories web applications or sub-directories of same.
Looks like you're using the ROOT Context, which means downloaddir
would be a sub-directory of that.
I think what you are probably looking for is:
http://localhost/myservlet?filename=abc.txt
Then, in your servlet, read the file from the location and spool it out
to the browser.
Something along the lines of:
// send file to browser
java.io.OutputStream o = response.getOutputStream();
java.io.FileInputStream is = new java.io.FileInputStream(filePath + /
+ fileName);
java.io.File oFile = new java.io.File(filePath + / + fileName);
response.setContentType(image/gif); // or whatever MIME type you want
response.setContentLength((int)oFile.length());
byte[] buf = new byte[32 * 1024]; // 32k buffer
int nRead = 0;
while( (nRead=is.read(buf)) != -1 ) {
o.write(buf, 0, nRead);
}
o.flush();
o.close();
oFile = null;
// end

Virtual directories
Is there any way of specifying virtual directories in a host in tomcat with out using contexts ? I'm trying to define a folder with in my webapplication that is shared between web-apps, and I need requests to this folder to go through a request filter in the root-context, the filter authenticates the user making the request and handles it before it's chained on to the actual. I've tried to mark the contexts as cross-context but that did not help. I'm really trying to specify a apache style- virtual directory in the tomcat server, so if anyone knows a good way to do that, please share.

can i use virtual directories (aliasing) using only tomcat, not apache
do i have to integrate tomcat 4.0 with apache in order to use virtual directories for static content (images and so forth)? or is there a way to do this using only tomcat? i couldn't find anything in the tomcat docs about it. mark weaver
Tip: Avoiding A 404 With *.jsp In Virtual Directories Using IIS 5 Tomcat On Windows 2000
Hi; I just spent some more time hair pulling for something I'm sure other people will experience. I am posting my solution here so that it will end up in the archives. I have IIS 5, Tomcat 3.2, jdk 1.3.1 working together on windows 2000. I like to keep all of my work in C:\Projectsmany good reasons to do this. I set up C:\Projects as a virtual directory in IIS. I kept getting a 404 whenever I tried to access my test.jsp page. I solved the problem by adding this line to server.xml in my Tomcat\conf dir, and then rebooting tomcat: Context path=/Projects docBase=C:/InetPub/wwwroot/Projects debug=0 reloadable=true/ Good Luck Steve Steve Russell Web Developer III ValueOptions - Lifescape 703-205-6589 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
