Here is what I do in almost every cocoon app I do:
<map:match pattern="styles.css">
<map:read mime-type="text/css" src="/styles/styles.css"/>
</map:match>
<map:match pattern="**/styles.css">
<map:read mime-type="text/css" src="/styles/styles.css"/>
</map:match>
<map:match pattern="*.gif">
<map:read mime-type="image/gif" src="/images/{1}.gif"/>
</map:match>
<map:match pattern="**/*.gif">
<map:read mime-type="image/gif" src="/images/{2}.gif"/>
</map:match>
Any gif or css (and you can do the same for jpg, js, etc.) gets redirected to the appropriate directory off the webserver root, and hence is served by Apache. So, under Apache's DocumentRoot I have /images, /styles, /scripts, etc., etc.

hy, thats a very pragmatic idea. i like such approaches. but, hmm... wouldn't this need lots of "static" links in your pages ???i mean, you really must point to the myapp-static pages with absolute links. What about maintenance ... ??? seems as if i need to do it in this way, or let cocoon serve everything ;-( Maybe i can plugin something in to apache, or would it be a big problem to get mod_JK do what i want (hacking ...) ??? I'll go and ask the apache-group ... and report back, what i get from there maybe in a Wiki ;-) ? anyway thanks for the tip... regards, hussayn Luca Morandini wrote:Hussayn,
I know it is not a smart solution, but it worked for me.
1) Setup mod_jk to redirect everything starting with "myapp" to Tomcat/Cocoon
2) Setup an alias named "myapp-static" pointed to a directory containing your static files
3) Use URI like "/myapp/dynamic.htlm" for dynamic content and URI like "/myapp-static/static.html" for static content
This has the advantage of scaling up well: we have three web-servers serving the static content ("/myapp-static/*") and one
app-server serving the Cocoon-generated content ("/myapp/*").

Subject: how can i get static files REALLY been processed by apache ???
Hy;
When i setup apache/tomcat/cocoon, i run into following
fancy problem. Although what i want seems trivial, but i did not
manage to get it done (I might not know the magic command to get round it)
Here is the problem:
1.) I want all static files been served by apache, i.e.:
*.gif, *.html, *.jpg
2.) I want *ALL* other files be served by cocoon.
Now how should i setup mod_jk.conf ????
this doesn't help:
<IfModule mod_jk.c>
JkWorkersFile /etc/httpd/conf/workers.properties
JkLogFile /var/log/httpd/mod_jk.log
JkLogLevel error
JkMount /cocoon cocoon
JkMount /cocoon/ cocoon
JkMount /cocon/* cocoon
</IfModule>
because it redirects everything to cocoon. But apache shall
serve the files mentioned above ...
This is not complete (Indeed it can never be complete):
<IfModule mod_jk.c>
JkWorkersFile /etc/httpd/conf/workers.properties
JkLogFile /var/log/httpd/mod_jk.log
JkLogLevel error
JkMount /cocoon/*.xml cocoon
JkMount /cocoon/*.jsp cocoon
JkMount /cocon/*.foo cocoon
...
</IfModule>
The list could potentially go down endlessly.
There MUST be an obvious solution to this!
Anyone can help me here ?
regards, Hussayn
