I don't think this will work. Apache passes the URI to Tomcat via JK2, and unless JK2 can mungle the actual URI, Tomcat won't be able to figure out what JSP you're looking for if you use a shortened path.
We use the Struts framework, which nicely hides the location of JSP files, or any particular file structure at all, from the URI that is used.

I am running Apache 2.0.52, Tomcat 5.0.28, mod_jk2, on Windows Server 2003. Everything seems to be running fine, but I want to be able to hide, mask, map, whatever, the URL to the jsp pages. Here is my workers2.properties file: Code: [shm] info=Scoreboard. Requried for reconfiguration and status with multiprocess servers. file=anon # Defines a load balancer named lb. Use even if you only have one machine. [lb:lb] # Example socket channel, override port and host. [channel.socket:localhost:8009] port=8009 host=127.0.0.1 # define the worker [ajp13:localhost:8009] channel=channel.socket:localhost:8009 group=lb # Map the Tomcat webapp to the Web server uri space [uri:/appname/*] group=lb [status:] info=Status worker, displays runtime information [uri:/jkstatus/*] info=The Tomcat /jkstatus handler group=status: I setup an alias in the httpd.conf file: Code: Alias /standalone/ "D:/Program Files/Apache Group/Tomcat5.0.28/webapps/appname/jsp/usr/standalone/" <Directory "D:/Program Files/Apache Group/Tomcat5.0.28/webapps/appname/jsp/usr/standalone"> Options Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> So, if I enter http: //ipaddress/appname/jsp/usr/standalone/file.jsp, the file loads and is properly passed to Tomcat. If I enter http: //ipaddress/standalone/file.jsp, the file loads but is not passed to Tomcat. I don't want my users seeing the long, ugly URL. What is the best/easiest way to accomplish this? Any help is greatly appreciated! John __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Personals - Better first dates.
