Thanks for the reply
Let me rephrase to see if I understand.
Note: I do have httpd.conf with the appropriate entries. I got it from
http://www.ccl.net/cca/software/UNIX/apache/apacheRH7.0httpd/README.html
Which is the best write up I've seen to date on TomCat. Anyway,
I have a Listen 80 in httpd.conf
so your saying that if I http://localhost I should see the index.htm that
is under my doc root of Apache and if I do a http://localhost:8080 I should
get the index.htm of TomCat. When I done writing this I look over
server.xml or web.xml to try to see how that context is stated.
Are you also saying that if I do a http://locahost/mywebapp and if mywebapp
was declared in ????? then Apache would pass control over to TomCat.
Some of these statements may not be accurate in their entirity, I just
trying to get a better 40,000 foot view. What I wouldn't give for a block
diagram.
