In looking at the JSPs, the dev team is coding all the paths inside a
<c:url> construct, which is why the context string is getting prepended
to every path in the document. What was throwing me off a bit was the
default doc was just a redirect as:
------------------------------------------------------
<%...@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<% response.sendRedirect("login"); %>
------------------------------------------------------
The browser would show this as http://hostname/context/login. My
interpretation of the docs had me thinking that the context would get
stripped as well, but it wasn't. Thus the confusion.
I have managed to get it working with the following:
<Proxy balancer://mycluster>
BalancerMember ajp://prtltest01:8009/Portal route=tomcat1
loadfactor=50
BalancerMember ajp://prtltest02:8009/Portal route=tomcat2
loadfactor=50
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /Portal/static !
ProxyPass /Portal balancer://mycluster
stickysession=JSESSIONID|jsessionid scolonpathdelim=On
ProxyPass / balancer://mycluster/ stickysession=JSESSIONID|jsessionid
scolonpathdelim=On
Notice I don't have any ProxyPassReverse lines. From reading the docs,
I'm not sure they are needed for AJP proxying.
I'm trying to keep the Tomcat side of things fairly simple -- pretty
much deploy the war direct from dev -- to keep there from being too many
steps that could get screwed up when I'm not around and someone else
needs to deploy. The process will be documented, but some people refuse
to read directions correctly.
Plus, the apache server will someday host multiple apps under one host,
so having it work with the context as non-root now means less work
later. Then again, I bf'ed and didn't put the static stuff in the
proper tree structure under the htdocs dir. I just put them there as I
got them. (There is no "static" directory on the Tomcat side, it's
virtual. The dev team is doing weird stuff with this new product.)
Let me know if you see any problems with the above config.
