I have checked web sites, FAQs and previous posts, but can't find a satisfactory answer to my particular problem. I am having trouble getting Apache 2 and Tomcat 5 (connected with mod_jk2.so) when Apache encounters URLs with the jsessionid set explicitly in the URI.
When cookies are disabled in a web browser, Tomcat correctly adds the jsessionid to all outgoing references to other assets (images, other pages) within a page. Thus a URI http://mydom/myapp/mypage.jsp becomes http://mydom/myapp/mypage.jsp;jsessionid=(32 characters) Which is fine for JSPs because I want Tomcat to serve JSPs. But for images http://mydom/myapp/images/image.gif becomes http://mydom/myapp/images/image.gif;jsessionid=(32 characters) I want Apache to serve this, but Apache gives a 404 Error because it doesn't understand how to process the jsessionid, or more specifically it doesn't know how to deal with the semi-colon I have seen a solution that offers: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on # Force URLs with a jsessionid to go to Tomcat. Necessary because # Apache doesn't recognise that the semi-colon is special. RewriteRule ^(/.*;jsessionid=.*)$ $1 [T=jserv-servlet] </IfModule> But I think this is an old solution, and I am woking with the jk2_module I have this problem for GIF and JPEG files, and also URIs such as http://mydom/myapp/myfolder/ which become http://mydom/myapp/myfolder/;jsessionid=(32 characters) I have DirectoryIndex set to index.jsp, which works fine when jsessionid isn't appended. But when jsessionid is appended, I get another 404 from Apache. I have the following solution, which feels entirely hacked: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(.*\.gif);jsessionid=.*$ $1 [PT] RewriteRule ^(.*\.jpg);jsessionid=.*$ $1 [PT] RewriteRule ^(.*)/(;jsessionid=.*)$ $1/index.jsp$2 [PT] </IfModule> This strips off the jsessionid from GIF and JPEG files, and inserts the index.jsp page name when it encounters a slash followed by a jsessionid. Apache can now serve these files, but this is really horrible. I believe that I should be able to specify something in workers2.properties to tell Tomcat to incercept and process anything with a jsessionid in the URL. Or I might be able to come up with something in httpf.conf that's a bit prettier than this. Anyone got a solution for this conundrum? Thanks in advance.
