I am using Tomcat 4.0.3 with Java SDK 1.4.0 along with Apache 1.3.24. These are all
running on a RedHat 7.2 box on which I do have root access.
I have followed the readme and install files and managed to get Tomcat working
standalone. Then I installed mod_webapp as a shared object for Apache and edited my
httpd.conf file to use that module:
*********************
LoadModule webapp_module /etc/httpd/modules/mod_webapp.so
AddModule mod_webapp.c
<IfModule mod_webapp.c>
WebAppConnection conn warp 127.0.0.1:8008
WebAppDeploy examples conn /examples
WebAppDeploy manager conn /manager
WebAppInfo /webapp-info
</IfModule>
*********************
I am able to access tomcat by going to the URL myhost.mydomain.com:8080 and I can
access $tomcat_root/examples and $tomcat_root/manager by going to
myhost.mydomain.com/examples/ and myhost.mydomain.com/manager/ respectively.
What I would like to do however, is allow .jsp files (and eventually servlets as well)
in my html root. Currently if I have a file such as myhost.mydomain.com/foo.jsp,
apache returns it as source text. I have looked for a way to tell apache that if it
finds a jsp file it should send it to tomcat for processing, but all I have found on
the web and in newsgroups is how to do it using either jserv or jk. Current
documentation has recommended using webapp as a connector, which is why I installed
it, but does it disallow me from having jsp's in my docroot? Any pointers would be
appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
