I have the same issue with mod_jk. We deploy all of our web application within tomcat_home/webapps. If a webapp is called myWebapp, then a request to /myWebapp/image.gif will be processed by Tomcat due to the fact that it matches the /myWebapp/* declaration. Is there a way to keep images from being processed by Tomcat if they are inside a webapp? Something like the patch that James mentions below would be exactly what I am looking for.
Configuration is Apache/Tomcat 3.2.4 using several different Webapps. Brandon P.S. If anyone has problems with tomcat serving images very slowly, the JkLogLevel should be set to "error" instead of "warn" inside of httpd.conf. This is not really documented anywhere for tomcat 3.2.4, but results in HUGE improvements in speed if you are serving an image-heavy page in a webapp. -----Original Message----- From: James Williamson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 11:19 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Apache serving static content Gabriel, I wrote a quick patch a while ago for mod_webapp that lets you specify patterns to ignore (i.e. the request never sees Tomcat). So apply the patch and recompile, and in your httpd.conf file use WebAppIgnore directives to tell mod_webapp which patterns to ignore. i.e. WebAppIgnore *.html WebAppIgnore /cgi-bin/* I haven't thoroughly tested it so would be pleased to know how you get on. Please find the patch attached. I would submit to the developers except I need to fix a few problems with it (You must put the WebAppIgnore's after you've declared your application).

If not, does anyone know where can I find a reference for mod_webapp? Because it seems like there is no detailed documentation on how to use it. Thanks a LOT!
