Think you might have missed the intent of our email. If I understand you
correctly you are basically telling us that we can make /context and
/my_directory do the same thing, but we were after how to point
/my_directory at /context/my_directory
We know this is possible to do this is using Apache as it was designed with
aliasing/proxypassing in mind, and tomcat wasn't. But we are hoping that
purely for development purposes we can remove apache out of the loop
altogether and replicate the aliasing/proxying features in tomcat so our
paths still work correctly.
For deployment (production) in Apache we have a proxy pass that says
proxypass /my_directory http://localhost:8080/context/my_directory
This means we can get rid of the context out of the url for the public
facing part of the site. However that means that we need Apache for
development as well and I was hoping there would be a cheap way of
replicating this in Tomcat.
Thanks for your response though. Any other thoughts people?
Regards,
Graeme.
