Hi Davanum,
the original problem was how to get apache working together with tomcat
and Cocccn2. There is actually a FAQ "Why does nothing happen when I
access 'http://localhost/cocoon/'?" Some possibilities are listed there.
in addition to these, in the case of mod_jk, it is crucial to include
the directive
JkMount /cocoon/* ajp12
along with other directives that are already listed in mod_jk.conf-auto
in the tomcat/conf directory. One could add the above directive at the
end of httpd.conf.
The second problem I was looking into was the following. How can I use
the request http://your.server.org/Foo/welcome (as an example), where
Foo is an application that depends on Cocoon2, instead of employing
something like http://your.server.org/cocoon/Foo/welcome. So, it would
not be required to always include "cocoon" in the request. Mainly based
upon Luca Morandini's suggestions, I could get things to work with the
following two modifications:
1. Add to httpd.cond:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog "/var/log/rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 0
RewriteRule ^/Foo /cocoon/Foo/ [R]
RewriteRule ^/Foo(.*) /cocoon/Foo$1 [R]
The file rewrite.log does not have to be located in /var/log. For
instance, under Windows NT other locations may be appropriate. The
RewriteLogLevel should be set 3 for debug purposes. The third line is
essentially a redirect, so that Foo become /cocoon/Foo/ with the
trailing /, without it the request would not map onto
<map:match pattern="">
<map:redirect-to uri="welcome" />
</map:match>
if I request http://your.server.org/Foo.
Finally, the last RewriteRule could depend on the local settings.
The original suggestion by Luca was a single line entry (that replaces
both RewriteRules above) according to
RewriteRule Foo/(.*) /cocoon/Foo/$1 [PT]
but this did not work in my case (Slackware Linux with Apache1.3,
tomcat3.2.2, Cocoon2). Again, these RewriteRules may vary somewhat
depending on the local settings. You may have to experiment somewhat
2. Add to the sitemap.xmap in the cocoon directory:
<map:pipeline>
<map:match pattern="Foo/**">
<map:mount uri-prefix="Fru" src="/www/Foo/"
check-reload="yes" reload-method="synchron"/>
</map:match>
</map:pipeline>
Here, /www/Foo is a some directory on the local file system where the
xml, xsp, .., files of the application Foo live.
As Luca pointed out, the src attribute may have to include "file://"
I hope that the information above is useful for others as well.
With thanks to Luca, Lajos, Anders, and others.
Cheers,
Andre.
