Hi folks !
Being a newbie concerning the use of Tomcat I am marvelling about the
following :
On SunOS 5.8 I have installed Tomcat 3.2.1 connected to Apache 1.3.19
via mod_jk.so with both an AJP12 (port 8007) and an AJP13 (port 8009)
handler installed.
The Apache Server is listening on ports 80, 1080, 2080 and 8080, while,
for test purposes, I added a Tomcat Http Connection handler on
port 7080.
Now, we have written a test servlet with differing doGet and doPost
methods and an HTML page containing a form that uses method POST, and
we observe the following behaviour :
o When defining the form's action to directly invoke the servlet via
Tomcat on port 7080, method doPost is invoked,
o however, when defining action to invoke the servlet via Apache
on one of the other ports mentioned above, always method doGet
is invoked.
Is there any explanation for that - at least to me - surprising
behaviour ? Did I overlook anything ? Or is it intended to work
that way ?
Thank you very much for your kind assistance
Rainer
