In httpd.conf, are you doing a redirect [R] or a passthrough [PT] ?
Assuming you're not explicitly redirecting the request, you should probably
check your modifications to whichever tomcat module you're using in Apache.
The thing to look, I think, is which URI is being set into the request
structure. The mod_webapp module does this early on in wam_match() before
mod_rewrite has a chance to do its work:
ap_set_module_config(r->request_config, &webapp_module, appl);
I essentially moved this bit to wam_invoke() which happens last when the
request is actually serviced.
I'm not one of the developers on this project, so I'm guessing here and
there. It would probably be worth running your modifications by the
tomcat-dev mailing list or Pier Fumagalli ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) who's name
is on the webapp.c module, if they have time to listen. My impression is
that this group of developers decided to explicitly over-ride mod_rewrite
because they thought this would result in a truer implementation of Sun's
servlet API.
