if you want my humble opinion.. in case you can't figure it out... use a
PROXY statement like this:
(I am not sure of the syntax for iPlanet's proxies, this format is for
Apache 1.3.x):
PROXYPASS /javaserver http://localhost:8080/path-for-servlets-or-jsps
PROXYPASS /javaserver/ http://localhost:8080/path-for-servlets-or-jsps/
I realize for it being on the same machine this is LAME-O. But, I think
it's a decent work-around. Also, you wouldn't have to EVER bring down
apache to modify tomcat stuff, since it's nothing but proxies anyway?...
(ps - yes, as you can tell, I like proxy statements. I use them on our
servers quite frequently just so I don't have to reset all servers from one
change).

Subject: iPlanet + Tomcat on Unix ??
My Problem:
I have Netscape Web Server (IPlanet) version 3.63. This version of IPlanet
doesn't support Java Server Pages, or in other words, there is no Servlet
Engine. I need to install some servlet engine on that server in order to run
JSPs. Upgrade of the Web server is not possible, because of some other
issues.
I have tried to install Tomcat to work with Netscape. My problem is that I
don't know how to install Tomcat and integrate it with Iplanet on Unix
environment. The documentation for Tomcat doesn't say anything about
installing it on Unix. The most difficult part is installing redirection
from Iplanet to Servlet Engine. For NT environment, there is dll file
included in distribution, which handles redirection. No info is provided for
Unix.
I would like to install it on two environemnts:
AIX 4.2.1.0
Solaris 2.5
I believe, I have to compile the redirector on both environments. Where do I
get
source from?? And how about makefiles .... I would really appreciate your
help, since this
issue is quite urgent for me.
Thank you for your help.
Robert
