RewriteEngine on RewriteRule^/examples/(.*) /servlets-examples/$1 [PT] JkMount /servlets-examples/* myworker In your case it should be: RewriteRule^/admin/(.*) /services/admin/$1 [PT] JkMount /services/admin/* adminloadbalance Regards, Mladen. - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Alias' and the like
This solution works if you're front-ending with Apache- I have seen CGI/Perl do this to specifically route incoming requests to CGI/Perl site 1 to their folder (and consequent access to site2 to Tomcat) Symlink is terminal specific setting up term access to symbols representing another folder .. Symlink is agnostic to which protocol is used to access port 8080 should route to Apache/Tomcat in that order with no proviso for security and consequent erroring by external programs that cant read a symlink (such as WinSCP) Caveat Emptor- M- * This email message and any files transmitted with it contain confidential information intended only for the person(s) to whom this email message is addressed.

Re: Alias' and the like
We have to be able to run on Windows, so won't be able to use symlink. I'm going to take a look at mod_rewrite suggested by Mladen. cheers, David x54680 |-+ | | Martin Gainty | | | [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | | com | | || | | 12/07/2006 16:07 | | | Please respond to| | | Tomcat Users| | | List| | || |-+ -| | | | To: Tomcat Users List users@tomcat.apache.org | | cc: | | Subject: Re: Alias' and the like | -| This solution works if you're front-ending with Apache- I have seen CGI/Perl do this to specifically route incoming requests to CGI/Perl site 1 to their folder (and consequent access to site2 to Tomcat) Symlink is terminal specific setting up term access to symbols representing another folder ..

Re: Alias' and the like
personally I caution against OS specific constructs to use Apache or Tomcat specific directives including mod-rewrite e.g. httpd.conf VirtualHost * ServerName /usr/local/tomcat/dev/webapps/bmtest/admin ServerAlias admin1 ... /VirtualHost Good Luck * This email message and any files transmitted with it contain confidential information intended only for the person(s) to whom this email message is addressed.
