Hi,
First of all I would like to mention that this is my first post on this
list, I hope that this question is posted in the right place. I have
tried finding a solution for my problem, but it either doesn't exist, or
my limited brain can't manage to figure out how to do it (I strongly
hope it is the latter)
The situation is the following:
Currently we have several web applications running on a Tomcat 6 server.
For the sake of this explanation I will call then web1 and web2.
I have apache set up to use jkmount to forward requests from the apache
server to the tomcat server. The problem is that I can only get apache
to forward things like www.esat.kuleuven.be/web1 and
www.esat.kuleuven.be/web2.
I would like to be able to forward things like
www.esat.kuleuven.be//somefancyname//web1 to the same application on the
Tomcat server.
I know this is possible with ProxyPassReverse in apache, but I would
like to be able to do this with jkmount so that I keep the possibility
to easily jump to a backup server if the main server goes down (Tomcat
crashes more often for us then the http server does).
To add to the problem, the web applications I am talking about are
updates from earlier versions. We still have the older versions running
on older versions of Tomcat and the forwarding rules of
www.esat.kuleuven.be/web1 need to continue to point to the old server.
As far as I can tell using the location tag in the apache conf file will
not help since it seems to me that jkmount takes that location as a
parameter to forward to Tomcat. And since my application is called web1
and not somefancyname/web1 it cant find it in the web applications folder.
Using a subdomain in a virtualhost could probably fix the problem in a
way that I could use /somefancyname/.esat.kuleuven.be/web1 for the new
web application, but it is very unlikely that our system administrators
will allow us to set up this subdomain. And even if they would it isn't
really the url I was hoping for.
So in sumary, what I would like is 2 types of links:
www.esat.kuleuven.be/web1 to point to the older web application
www.esat.kuleuven.be//somefancyname//web1 to point to the new web
application (both have the same name but are on a different tomcat server)
Any help would be welcome.
With kind regards,
Edwin
