Hello All,
I've got apache and tomcat working together successfully, arriving at
this state by doing this :
I downloaded the binary jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1.tar.gz and
webapp-module-1.0-tc40-linux-glibc2.2.tar.gz from jakarta.apache.org.
I've installed them, and followed the directions in the INSTALL.txt that
came with the later in order to instruct apache how/when to hand-off
requests to tomcat.
All good so far.
The sole purpose of the apache server in question is to serve user directories
(i.e. using the UserDir directive from the mod_userdir module).
I want to enable each user to create his own JSP's and servlets.
So, my question is, what's the best way to do this?
My understanding is this:
- tomcat knows that it can serve stuff found in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps
- i tell apache to hand stuff to tomcat via lines like
WebAppDeploy newstufftodeploy localconn /newstufftodeploy
and there must be a dir
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/newstufftodeploy/WEB-INF/classes/
for this to work.
But how do I tell apache & tomcat that I have a webapps directory that's
not in $CATALINA_HOME ?
E.g. I'd like to tell apache that a request like
http://my.apacheserver.name/~detertj/myexamples/servlet/HelloWorld
is to be handed off to tomcat, and then, of course, I'd like tomcat to
know where this is (cuz it's not gonna be in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps) ?
