Hello all, not sure if this should be asked here or in the apache list so I will try here first.
I have an application running completely inside of tomcat 6...lets call it webappTomcat which runs on port 8084. A coworker developed an application that runs mainly on apache(html and javascript) although he makes ajax requests to servlets. Lets call it webappApache. When he makes his ajax requests he does so through a pseudo proxy(to allow cross domain) that is written in python. This proxy resides in apache on port 80. We need to merge both applications. I want to merge webappApache *into*webappTomcat. Basically bring all of the html and javascript code from webappApache into webappTomcat and retain the use of the proxy on Apache for cross domain calls. When I do this, the calls to the apache python proxy fail. It seem like there is no *path* to the proxy from tomcat. example: http://localhost:8084/webappTomcat/index.jsp makes an ajax call through the proxy to http://localhost:8084/anotherTomcatWebApp/Servlet http://localhost:8084/webappTomcat/index.jsp ---> http://localhost/webappApache/pythonProxy.py ---> http://localhost:8084/anotherTomcatWebApp/Servlet so the request would look something like this: from webappTomcat an ajax request to http://localhost/webappApache/pythonProxy.py?url=http://localhost:8084/anotherTomcatWebAppServlet?parameterX=345¶meterY=199 Is there some configuration needed on tomcat for this to work? Keep in mind that this is not a real proxy(ie, no cacheing or anything like that). We were thinking that perhaps a java proxy(residing in tomcat) that makes a call to the python proxy(residing in apache) would be what we need but it seems kind of hacky. Thanks in advance!
