Re: what kind of urls need to be handled by tomcat

Hey,

I have roller on a separate domain and just proxy the whole thing.

I am not sure what your setup is but here is mine:
My problem: I want to use roller on port 80 with it's own domain... but already have apache sitting on port 80. 
Solution is to use apache as a proxy, here is what I do in apache:

<VirtualHost 212.79.238.152:80>
    ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    ServerName www.vantwisk.nl
    ServerAlias vantwisk.nl
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/vantwisk_nl-error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/vantwisk_nl.log common
    ProxyPass / http://www.vantwisk.nl:8080/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://www.vantwisk.nl:8080/
    <Location />
      Order deny,allow
      Allow from all
   </Location>
</VirtualHost>

I create a hosts file in /etc/hosts with the following content:

127.0.0.1       vantwisk.nl www.vantwisk.nl

And last but not least a small entry in tomcat6

In server.xml I have this entry:
    <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
               connectionTimeout="20000"
               redirectPort="8443"
               proxyPort="80"
               />

I did put roller in my ROOT directory...
I have read about mod_jk but my limited knowledge about this led me to install 
to the above situation and that seems to work just fine so far.
Properly you can do the same with the above if a whole directory needs to be proxyied-...

Ok, I tried to figure some of the rules out by myself (and I feel the
jk2.conf provided is incomplete, too)

So here are the rewrite rules I am using:
RewriteEngine on
#RewriteLog /tmp/rw.log
#RewriteLogLevel 3
#
RewriteRule /(.+\.(jsp|m|vm|cmx|rss|action|do|rol))
balancer://ajp-balancer/$1 [P,L]
RewriteRule
^/(.+)/(page|comments|preview|trackback|ExportServlet|auth|rss| entry)/(. 
*) balancer://ajp-balancer/$1/$2/$3
[P,L]
RewriteRule ^/(([^/\.]+$)|([^/\.]+/$)) balancer://ajp-balancer/$1 [P,L] 
RewriteRule /j_acegi_security_check
balancer://ajp-balancer/j_acegi_security_check [P]
RewriteRule /roller_j_security_check
balancer://ajp-balancer/roller_j_security_check [P]
RewriteRule /CommentAuthenticatorServlet
balancer://ajp-balancer/CommentAuthenticatorServlet [P]

And every time I am firing the system up again I discover another
functionality which needs the rewrite rules adjusted. I was wondering if anybody else has apache running in front of his tomcat and can enlighten 
me with his rewrite rules...

Thanks,
German

Subject: what kind of urls need to be handled by tomcat

Hi,
we have some apache httpd sitting in front of our tomcat running roller (I am still trying to set everything up:-)) We are using mod_rewrite to decide which URL's should be served by tomcat and which by apache. Right 
now we are forwarding everything which ends with .rol, .vm, .jsp, and
.action to the tomcat. But the system doesn't work. I was wondering if
somebody else had some experience with a similar set up and can share
his insights what to forward to tomcat...



Thanks,

German
