You have a nice doc in Apache's docs.

Subject: how can i get apache to redirect a whole subdir to a servlet ?
> Hy, there;
>
> i need to tunnel a whole subdirectory of my server through a servlet,

> I already tried it by creating a ...webapps/zone/WEB_INF/web.xml by using
the

> ----------------------
> <web-app>
>
> <servlet>
> <servlet-name>zone-checker</servlet-name>
> <servlet-class>com.saxess.ZoneChecker</servlet-class>
> </servlet>
>
> <servlet-mapping>
> <servlet-name>zone-checker</servlet-name>
> <url-pattern>/zone/safe-area/*</url-pattern>
> </servlet-mapping>
>
> </web-app>
> ---------------------
>
> I checkecd, that the Servlet can be accessed by issuing this url:
>
> http://localhost/zone/servlet/zone-checker
>
> This is the expected behaviour. But the servlet is NOT invoked,

> http://localhost/zone/safe-area/index.html

servlet-mapping

broswer.
> Maybe tomcat does not know about the servlet-mapping ?

> For the server-config, i used following :

> -----------------------------------------
> ...
> Alias /zone "/mnt2/local/install/apache/jakarta/build/tomcat/webapps/zone"
> <Directory "/mnt2/local/install/apache/jakarta/build/tomcat/webapps/zone">
> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
> </Directory>
> ApJServMount /zone/servlet /zone
> <Location "/zone/WEB-INF/">
> AllowOverride None
> deny from all
> </Location>
> <Location "/zone/META-INF/">
> AllowOverride None
> deny from all
> </Location>
>
> <LocationMatch /zone/*.jsp>
> SetHandler jserv-servlet
> </LocationMatch>
>
> <LocationMatch /zone/safe/*>
> SetHandler jserv-servlet
> </LocationMatch>
> ...
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Again i tried out lots of combinations, but none brought the desired
results.
> Even, if i redirect all requests from apache to tomcat as follows:
>
> ApJServMount /zone ajpv12://localhost:8007/zone
>
> Nothing happens (except the index.html is simply displayed)
>
> Maybe i completely missunderstand something here ? Anyone can help me ?
> That would be great.
