Right. You setup a connector, e.g., mod_jk, mod_jk2, mod_webapp. Heck, I even have a case where I have mod_proxy being used (don't ask why -- archaic and going away, but it works)! ref: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/connectors.html > How do I both instruct Apache to serve up all requests for the root > directory to Tomcat, and how do I set up that alias to use MY index > page? It is easier than you think. Check the docs for your connector of choice. The best documentation is probably for mod_jk. If you want a laugh, here is how you do it with mod_rewrite/mod_proxy: RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://localhost:8080/$1 [P] ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/ Again, *not* something I recommend. [FWIW, you could use ProxyPass instead of a rewrite rule, but there is a lot more going on that isn't shown above.] > context.getRequestDispatcher("/start.jsp" ); > how do I get the URL on the client side to reflect the forwarding? If you want the browser to go back to the start.jsp page, you send it there with request.sendRedirect("/start.jsp"), not a RequestDispatcher. > Thanks in advance, kids...
