RE: redirect to a static page from tomcat to apache

[Lacerda, Wellington (AFIS)]

I'm not sure if it matters having Apache as webserver, but I believe you'll
have to use sendRedirect for this...essentially you are pointing to a
resource Tomcat can't locate inside the target context (because only Apache
knows about it). So I believe that's why you're getting this error message.

Of course paste the URL to the browser it will work, because Apache will be
serving it.

                Thats what I thought.

                but when I call::

                RequestDispatcher disp =
        
getServletConfig().getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(URL);
                and URL = http://www.mydomain.com/consultant/index.html

                disp returns a null.

                I can cut and paste the URL from the error message to the
browser and it
                works ok.

                Hi, Randy --

                Offhand, I'd suggest fully-qualifying the URL, e.g.,

                   String URL = "http://localhost/foo/x.html";

                My recollection (such as it is) is that Tomcat takes
                /name as relative to the current webapp; I *think* that
                fully-qualifying the URL will get around this.

                Hello,

                Is there anyway to do a forward from a servlet in tomcat to
a static page
                that apache only knows.
                ie.
                apache knows that /foo is /home/foo.

                but when the servlet executes and does the following(see
snippet below),
                Tomcat does not know where /foo is mapped to. If I set up a
context in
                server.xml it will work. But then for my app it gets more
complicated ,
                because x.html is a frame that calls two cgi programs. And
of course tomcat
                doesn't know about these guys.

                So what are my options?

                IS there way to set up a cgi-bin directory under tomcat?

                Thanks
