It sounds like you are saying that you must also run Apache ... that Tomcat alone is not sufficient. Is this correct? And that I would setup mod_rewrite within Apache before it gets to Tomcat? Wouldn't this then mean that you're not actually using Apache as a Standalone? Are you connecting to Tomcat via WARP?
I'm confused. :( -----Original Message----- From: Gary Gwin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 2:35 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: RewriteRules and Standalone Tomcat Yes, but your requests must be passed through Apache to Tomcat-Standalone via mod_jk. We do this on our site and it works nicely. The URL requests are processed by mod_rewrite before mod_jk forwards them to Tomcat, so the Apache behavior you desired is achieved. I don't think that "Tomcat-Standalone" means what it looks like it should mean, if you know what I mean ;-) Gary neal wrote: >Oh, does that mean it *is* possible to use RewriteRules with Tomcat >Standalone then? :-\ > >Neal > > >-----Original Message----- >From: Turner, John [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 1:04 PM >To: 'Tomcat Users List' >Subject: RE: RewriteRules and Standalone Tomcat > > > >Yes, specific to a Tomcat issue, but the solution incorporates Apache. :) > >John > > > > >>-----Original Message----- >>From: neal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >>Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 3:54 PM >>To: Tomcat Users List >>Subject: RE: RewriteRules and Standalone Tomcat >> >> >>Oh. :( >> >>But this was actually a solution offered specific to a Tomcat issue: >> >>Issue: Unlike Apache, tomcat automatically redirects to the >>welcome page, >>rather than forwarding.
