According to the Tomcat FAQ, URL rewriting should work with Tomcat 3.1
when run with Apache if the mod_rewrite is enabled and the rule included:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(/.*;jsessionid=.*)$ $1 [T=jserv-servlet]
</IfModule>
I have not succeeded in getting this to work. I have added the lines
RewriteLog /usr/local/apache/logs/rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 9
and I find that none of the requests from action="SessionExample" get passed
to the rewrite-module. The only activities that are logged in the rewrite.log
file are things like
/examples/
/examples/index.html
which are not going to be affected by the rewrite rule and which are not
coming from my servlet execution.
Session ID is passed without problem if I use cookies.
There seems to be something that I am missing in trying to use Tomcat with
Apache. Can anyone suggest what I should try? I am running Linux on my
machine. I have Java 1.3 installed, and it is Tomcat 3.1 I am trying to
get working with Apache 1.3.14
