With mod_jk, you can also get more specific than just a path (/examples), I think. You can say "/examples/*.jsp", for example.
So you could say something like "/myapp/*.jsp" and have those requests go to tomcat, but "/myapp/*.html" or "/myapp/*.gif" would still be served by apache. To do this you will need mod_jk, not mod_webapp. It would look something like this in your httpd.conf (using mod_jk): JkMount /myapp/*.jsp ajp13 John Turner [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Ola Theander [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, July 19, 2002 8:48 AM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Questions about web solution based on Tomcat & Apache. Hi John. Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately I'm not sure that I understand you completely. Regarding your answer to question 1, I want Apache to serve html, image and other static content while Tomcat processes the dynamic content such as jsp pages, i.e. I don't want to use Tomcat to serve static content, i.e. that means the use of either the AJP or Warp connector. Does the use of these connectors require that I separate the static content files from the files for dynamic content?
