I have installed a servlet in a webapp directory named metis. I can
run the servlet with the URL:
http://myplace.no/metis/servlet/XlnWebServlet/pub/models/training.kmv
...but I want to use this instead:
http://myplace.computas.no/metis/repository/pub/models/training.kmv
In the web.xml file, I added this after the servlet element for
XlnWebServlet:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>
XlnWebServlet
</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>
/repository/*
</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
...but it doesn't work. The problem is the tomcat-apache.conf file
that is automatically generated. It contains this:
Alias /metis C:\opt\tomcat\webapps\metis
<Directory "C:\opt\tomcat\webapps\metis">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
ApJServMount /metis/servlet /metis
<Location /metis/WEB-INF/ >
AllowOverride None
deny from all
</Location>
If I change the ApJServMount to:
ApJServMount /metis /metis
...then the URL I want to use works. The problem with this is that
tomcat
generates tomcat-apache.conf automatically, which is nice, but it
always wants to put /metis/servlet there instead of just /metis. Is
there a reason for appending "servlet" there? I don't want that word
to appear in the URLs. Can I configure the way tomcat generates the
apache-tomcat file so that it does not append /servlet ?
Also, I am running this on Windows 2000. Hopefully, eXcelon will
support linux next year. Until then, since tomcat must be started
before Apache, does anyone know how to tell Windows 2000 to start
tomcat before Apache?
