I have been complaining about a problem I have had with Apache 2.0.43,
Tomcat 4.1.18, Jk2 and Windows 2000.
The problem stems from the fact that if you define multiple vhosts/web-apps
listed in the httpd.conf file, then the last web-app will work 100%, but
ONLY the last one. If you have multiple web-apps listed (before the last
one), the JSP pages will only work if they are filed in the root directory
of that web-app. If you put JSP's in any other sub-directory, they will NOT
be displayed correctly. Only the source of the JSP page will show and that
will be a MAJOR security problem for anyone using multiple web-apps on
Apache-Tomcat on Windows 2000.
This fix can be corrected if you put the URI information in the
workers2.properties file. I have been told you do not need to do this if
you put the <Location> tag inside the <VirtualHost> as I have shown ... but
as I said this only works for the LAST web-app listed.
I am 99.99999999999999999% that this is a BUG with either Tomcat and/or Jk2
because of the nature of the problem and how I solved it.
My next step is to take the same configuration and port it to Red Hat Linux
8.0 and see if the problem still happens. If it is a problem in Linux also,
I do believe that this problem will be fixed faster. I can 100% of the
time reproduce this problem, and have done so many times now.
If anyone has any questions, please let me know. Thanks.

In the httpd.conf file, I had my virtual host configured as:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName tomholmes.net
ServerAlias test.tomholmes.net
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot d:/web_software/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18/wwwroot/test
<Location "/*.jsp">
JkUriSet worker ajp13:localhost:8009
</Location>
ErrorLog logs/test-error_log
CustomLog logs/test-access_log common
DirectoryIndex default.jsp index.jsp
</VirtualHost>
Partial listing of the server.xml file had a <Host> tag setup as follows:
<Host name="test.tomholmes.net" debug="0" appBase="wwwroot"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
directory="logs" prefix="test_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/>
<Context path="" docBase="test" debug="0" reloadable="true"
crossContext="true">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
prefix="test_context_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/>
</Context>
</Host>
Partial listing of the workers2.properties file as follows:
[uri:/test]
info=Example webapp in the default context.
context=/test
debug=0
[uri:/test/*.jsp]
info=Extension mapping
[uri:/test/*]
info=Map the whole webapp
