ok - fair enough... ASAIK there is no enfored segregation of files, just
convention. What you are describing seems achievable to me, although
I've never done it. I'm sorry, but I've actually missed what the
original problem was.
Assuming you fix the host names up then a request for index.html should
be served happily by apache. A request for index.xml should be passed
off to tomcat via ajp13, and then assuming you've got something that
handles that at tomcat it should receive the request. An advantage of
the way you have things set up is that localhost:8080 should be the same
as localhost (I think)... so I would start at localhost:8080 and check
everything works (sorry, at www.raptor.net:8080 or whatever). then look
at apache.
A question though. Am I right in thinking that you are serving xml
dynamically with a xslt stylesheet (pull based publishing), and then
also trying to use pro-active push publishing to pump the xml through
the same xslt into an index.html file (and I'm sure also an index.wml
file somewhere too)? If so, sounds damn cool (o:
let me know if its not working and I'll think some more about it.
