I think that this item qualifies as struts material because affected
code originates in the Struts project. I am reasonably experienced
with Tomcat and Apache and am moving to use Struts.
I have a working Apache (1.3.19) installed by Mandrake 8.0 and a
current version of Tomcat 3.2.3 installed from the jakarta.apache.org
download site (binary not source). I am also using mod_jk.so from
the same source.
As I understand it, the WAR file is designed to allow you to install
a web application in a single location and (in he case of Tomcat)
restart the container to use the application.
I am working through the README and INSTALL documents that
were in the struts tarball and have successfully installed and run
the struts-documentation.war file. This appears to work correctly
on both Tomcat and Apache at:
+ http://cpu1753.adsl.bellglobal.com/struts-documentation/
+ http://cpu1753.adsl.bellglobal.com:8080/struts-documentation/
When I move on to the struts-example.war file, I get an imlementation
which executes correctly on Tomcat, but does not properly map the
*do URI's of the control servlet when I run it through Apache.
I realize that the documentationn for installing struts is a bit 'rough'
but I feel that these WAR files should be usable out-of-the-box
and should not require elaborate sorcery to set up and run.
I am able to run the struts-example code if I change* the generated
mapping in /opt/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3/conf/mod_jk.auto-conf:
The change was:
JkMount /struts-example/servlet/* ajp12
to
JkMount /struts-example/* ajp12
Of course, the app still works in Tomcat because that configuration is
not affected by the contents of mod_jk.conf-auto.
Any suggestions ?
The working versions are:
+ http://cpu1753.adsl.bellglobal.com/struts-example/
+ http://cpu1753.adsl.bellglobal.com:8080/struts-example/
* - Yes, I know it will be rewritten.
